BU RISE Program 2020

We should all know by next week. I am also waiting on internship. I put practicum as second choice though.

dang all these ppl getting acceptance emails. im out here w only the internship track and i got nothing :frowning: prob didn’t get in at this point…

same still waiting to hear about internship (only)

@myredditbruh @jm1230 Same here I only applied to internship and I haven’t heard back from them yet. Hopefully results are out by next week

@AcePossum i don’t think we got in lol

@myredditbruh In a couple of days you should email them and ask if there is a planned day to release acceptances. I don’t want to email them twice :confused:

@myredditbruh Yeah, maybe we didn’t lol. Do you know anyone who applied for Internship and knows that they’ve been accepted already though?

probably the decisions are not made yet for internship track and will be late this week. Even if someone did not get through, I am hoping an email would be sent about the decision. Not getting the email probably points to decision is yet to be made

Jeez it’s already mid-March and I haven’t gotten a response. I thought the first notification was for simply being good enough to go, like as in test scores and whatnot cus I thought mine were pretty good.

yeah i’m guessing no decision yet, me and my friend haven’t heard from them and i think we both did internship only (she might have done both but i’m not sure)

@jm1230 @cooluser31415 @AcePossum @bramaswa @lec717 I doubt any of us got in lol. idk anyone who got in but my bet is we didn’t get in lol. i’ll email them on friday.

Do they consider essays for the qualification part or is it just for the matching phase?

Maybe my essays were absolute trash then lmao

How competitive is it? Is it worth doing over research at a competitive (T5) university? It costs a lot and I’m not sure if I were accepted if it’s worth looking into.

@myredditbruh , this is what I got this morning “Thank you for your email. Admissions decisions have not yet been announced but we are hoping to do so before the end of this week.”

Can anyone advise me? BU RISE is really worth to do? I already got an research offer at a top research hospital without paying tuition.

Honestly, it’s your call, but if it’s a “top research hospital” as you say, then that already is a considerable amount of prestige. If it’s free, then of course that’s even better considering the expense of BU RISE. I’d take the hospital’s offer, but that’s me and I don’t even know the details.

@cooluser31415, thanks for your advice. Research project in university affiliated hospital is through my school program, which is not a regular summer research camp like BU RISE. Basically I will be commuting daily and be working with Doctor and his team. It is more like a summer job and may not have any other high school peers around.

@bramaswa ok thanks. i expect decisions to be out by fri

So far we did not receive any communications, still waiting
