Hey, I realized that there isn’t any discussion about the applicants this year to BU RISE. Anybody else out there applying? I hope you all get your applications done soon, the deadline’s getting close…
Anyway, does anybody have an estimate of how competitive it’s going to be this year? I know that the number of applicants they get every year increases. If I had a B in math junior year, does that disqualify me??
It said on the website that they admit about 100 out of 750… so yah pretty competitive but don’t worry, a B definitely won’t disqualify you 
Did anyone get acceptances yet? This is taking forever 
they sent me an email saying they are in the process of reviewing my application a few days ago…but yah its taking a looong time
I don’t know if all the decisions are out yet, but I just got an email yesterday saying I was accepted
Congrats! Internship or Practicum track?
@futurezhou Congrats! Last week I received an email saying they were reviewing my application. How long after you got this email did you get the acceptance?
I got my acceptance yesterday for the internship track. I’ll be doing medical research in the department of ophthalmology. I was wondering if any of the accepted students were from the Bay Area? :)>
@NoFutureXD I am from the bay area! but i haven’t been accepted yet… I got an email about a week ago saying they were reviewing my application. (same boat as @StillThinking42 ). How long after that email did they inform you that you were accepted?
Haha I actually just got denied. Congrats to all who got it, hope you guys have fun! (Meanwhile…idk what to do with my summer now…haha)
I received the email that they were reviewing my application on March 24. I got my acceptance on the 29th. I hope all of you get accepted! Good luck!
Does anyone know if they evaluate applications for Practicum and Internship separately or together? I got accepted to Practicum but haven’t heard anything about Internship yet.
If we attend Practicum can we still submit to science fairs? Is one more prestigious than the other?
Accepted to the Internship track today!
Hi, I am from the Bay Area (applying for chemistry first choice, biomedical engineering second), but I have not heard back from them yet. I have, however, received an email on March 24 saying that my application was in the process of evaluation. Does anybody know if people are notified within a time window or if they are notified once they get paired up with mentors?
BU RISE is my top choice, so I’m hoping to get in.
@unicornforsale which subjects did you apply for?
Accepted! Is there a facebook page for accepted students? Internship track.
@bentandbarc That’s great! Did you get in for astronomy? I haven’t heard back yet.
@bentandbarc when did you get your acceptance?
@StillThinking42 same, I haven’t heard back from them yet
April 1
