Hi guys! I’m moving on for neuroscience. But I’m worried this program might not even happen—every summer program at MIT has already been canceled. I hope RISE doesn’t do the same…
does anyone know how many people applied this year?
@pearlthinks not sure, I was wondering the same.
Also, does almost everyone get matched? Does anyone know?
Does anyone know how competitive it is to get matched once you passed the first round?
Is anyone still waiting for an email? Has anyone from the mechanical engineering program been accepted?
from last years threads I think it’s safe to assume that the internship matching will occur in April
Hi friends, if someone can answer my question that will be helpful, also does any one know if the programs are still on schedule. My son got accepted to Practicum but we are having trouble to decide. Appreciate it.
BU has updated their website saying that summer programs will stay on course this summer. @srisai hope this helps!
to be clear, bu said on March 13 that cummer programs will stay on schedule, but on March 17, they said they will be minimizing lab activity. So no one knows. Hopefully, if the US hits the peak of the coronavirus curve soon, BU RISE will still hapen
Thanks YaBoi2021 for the response. I hope they dont get cancelled. The other trouble we are having trouble to decide is as he got accepted to Practicum is it still a good choice? I do understand BU Rise is a very popular Summer program, but its expensive and we are not local so trying to evaluate all options. Appropriate the inputs.
Has anyone who applied to Practicum as second choice been accepted? I got rejected internship but applied practicum second choice so I still have a little hope.
@srisai BU RISE is a very selective program and well known. I believe MIT listed it as one of several high school programs junior should try out, along with RSI and SSP. Each year 100 out of possibly thousands of students are chosen each year. Though I do agree it may be a bit pricey, I think I’m going because the program matches my style of learning and others online said they enjoyed the experience.
@lec717 I believe practicum results came out 1-2 weeks before Internship results came out.
@lec717 oh wait, i was wrong, practicum results come out late march
but only for first choice
Any update on RISE & Covid-19? Also roughly what percentage of applicants in the matching phase get matched?
Has anyone been matched yet? Also, BU said they are limiting lab activities which leads me to think they may cancel or try to do remote/ online activities.
Yes, I was matched, but I have no idea if RISE will even happen (I think most likely it’ll move online, but they haven’t said much).
Did you get matched with an MIT lab? I know from past years they work with MIT labs too but now MIT is canceling all K-12 programs idk if this affects RISE. I got past the matching stage for Physics but haven’t heard anything yet :((.
