Thanks @nymphalidae - enjoy the summer and wish you a great experience
Just wondering, has anyone gotten matched for Computer Engineering? I still havenât gotten matched and am hoping there is still a good chance.
I emailed them about two days ago and was told final decisions will be out by the end of this week. They didnât say final but I havenât been matched yet and I asked when I should be suspecting, and they said the end of this week. Has anyone gotten matched for cancer biology??
And Im a little upset because I gave up my second choice to gamble and see if I could get into BU RISE, but hopefully I get matched because I really was interested in the work the professors were doing.
Good luck to everyone going and to everyone who is waiting like me still! 
Yeah, Iâm getting kinda nervous. I would really like to participate, and weâve been waiting for so long. But I looked through previous year forums and it seems like people got matched up to 5/10 and all so there is still a good chance. I also donât think many people got in for Computer Engineering yet so maybe some departments are just responding quicker than others? idk im just hoping for the best
is there anyone on this chat that got into the practicum? just wondering cuz it seems like everyone is doing the internship track here
congratulations to everyone who recently got matched! wow that was a big wave of acceptances haha. iâm in the same boat as some yall- still waiting (im)patiently i also applied for electrical/computer engineering so you could be right! @coolkid347
congrats to everyone! i applied to the internship track and got rejected but just got into the practicum one. are any of you going there? and do you guys have any idea how the practicum track is?
@meg2020 Did you just receive the rejection for internship track and acceptance into the practicum?
yeah @coolkid347
@meg2020 oh i wonder how they make that decision because i havenât received anything from them yet. even if i dont get matched, i would be happy if i got into the practicum track
@meg2020 may be you can look at previous years forums for RISE for practicum information? Were you in matching phase for internship and then got moved to practicum?
@coolkid347 yeah thatâs true but hopefully you find out soon
@arun07 so i didnât get in the matching phaseâŠi got a rejection on march 22 and they asked if i wanted to be on the practicum waitlist and found out today that i got into the practicum track. i tried to look at previous forums but a lot of them were focused on the internship over the practicumâŠ
@meg2020 @coolkid347 my son got accepted to practicum mid March although he applied for internship and selected the practicum also
@trendypalai do you guys know how the practicum program is? i know only 60 students go into the practicum program but i wanted to know if it was good and well-structured and stuff before i place my deposit.
@meg2020 the practicum takes only 40 students and the details about the program are in their site. All practicum students will be in the same site doing research while the internship is done in various locations but they stay in the same dorms etc. also the final day poster symposium will be done by both practicum and internship students.
Did anyone get matched today?
@trendypalai ooh ok i thought it was 40 interns and 60 for practicum, my bad, but that sounds really interesting.
@meg2020 Youâll be in for a great summer! I think the main difference is that Practicum is also a lot more lecture-based (or at least, it sounded that way to me from their site). Youâll still be doing lab work and research, just maybe not the same hefty 40 hrs/week for internship.
Are there other programs you got into that youâre considering?
