Hi all,
Junior here. I applied to RSI and I’m planning on applying to the BU Rise program as well. Seems like every year or two someone gets a publication (internship) and there are about 3-5 Siemens semifinalists as well. Just curious, are there any other prestigious programs like such that have publications and/or submissions to national competitions such as Siemens and ISEF?
I’m planning on applying so just discuss any stats, concerns, etc!
I am hesitant to apply due to cost
Yeah it is a bit much but it seems like a good program
I mean they offer financial aid but I don’t think I willl get much since my income is 90-100k
It sucks because they will not see that I am struggling financial too and don’t have 7000 lying around it is still a lot for me and family to pay
dang that must suck. I’m grateful I haven’t had to deal with that.
ANyone else applying to the program?
In the first essay, what does ‘what you want to study’ refer to? Study in RISE or in college? Assuming it refers to what you want to study in college. Right?
BU RISE program for a local resident is good as a commuter ? or we have to stay in Dorms?
Any recommendations from 2017/2018 folks.
@mango9
I assume it just means what you want to study in college.
@Gjessi2020
You should be fine staying as a commuter. There isn’t a requirement to go to Dorms I believe. I didn’t go last year though so idk for sure.
Do any alums have advice on which research category I should apply for if I am interested in computational biology, machine learning, bioinformatics, biostat. Anything along those lines really. Also which professors I should list?
Yeah I’ll also need help on which professors to list. I hope to become a physician so any field related to medicine really. I’m currently doing research on nanoparticles
Finished up my application… Hopefully I can get in! Do you guys know when results come out?
I applied to Internship too and am kind of worried that I will have to pull my application because other program decisions come out and make you reply much earlier. Last year it looked like the decision came out anywhere from late March until may.
@anonymous4357
That sucks. What other programs did you apply to? Assuming you’re interested in premed as well
Did any of you receive a confirmation email after submitting all the materials (form, supplemental materials, both recommendations)?
@IcyHurricane
Yeah I got an email saying that all my materials have been received.
You should also get an email when all your rec letters are submitted.
I got an email confirming that RISE received all my materials today. @gurt567
Has anyone heard back yet?
Haven’t heard back. I applied to the internship track for the physics department. Does anyone know if it’s harder to get into certain departments than others? I was worried that obtaining a physics internship could be more difficult than say bio or engineering because of the background required and other factors.
