City of Hope anyone?

<p>@souseis…how did you reach this agreement? I’m currently corresponding to a professor…but I’m not quite sure how to reach it. Mutual agreement as in you both decided on what your research project would be? I’m still a bit confused as to how this works.</p>

<p>Congrats though! :smiley:
and @ shadowyams…that prob means there’s still room! ;)</p>

<p>Yeah, the guy sent me another email to clarify that apparently it was the undergrads who were ~full.</p>

<p><em>shrugs</em> Might send another email to the remaining profs later today or tomorrow.</p>

<p>hmmm, i’m going to be an undergrad this fall, i wonder what i count as ;P</p>

<p>@hootingRiceOwl, I PMed you</p>

<p>^souseis,</p>

<p>do you think you can give me the same info as well?</p>

<p>I have an interview coming up, and I would appreciate any help!</p>

<p>@souseis

<p>Yes : No Reply : No</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> Sent an email to the general admissions office to see if they actually have any slots left for stem cell research. Not too optimistic right now, but the initial email said they still had openings, so perhaps with the last two professors …</p>

<p>Still waiting on HSHSP and BU, so hopefully I’ll have something to do over the summer. Suppose I could always try something local and take a few online classes …</p>

<p>Talked with the professor today over the phone…she wants me!!! :DDDDD
I can’t wait for this summer!
when we get that fb group up…anyone considering rooming together? I’m lost as to locating housing… :P</p>

<p>Whee, got offered an interview! :D</p>

<p>Anyone care to send me the list of tips. :P</p>

<p>@shadowyams how did you end up getting an interview? I was asked to send a resume but no follow up after that.</p>

<p>@souseis if you have any advice for remaining hopefuls, that would be great!!</p>

<p>I emailed a bunch of professors; one of them replied and said he wanted to do a phone interview.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone! I wish you all the best!</p>

<p>@shadowyams good luck with your interview. I hope you make it!!!</p>

<p>I emailed maybe 5-7 researchers and I only got 2 ‘I’ll get back to you’s and 1 in-person interview (I have it tomorrow!!!) Oh and before sending emails or getting the snail mail I had one phone interview because a doctor contacted me first. But he didn’t contact me again after the phone interview so I’m guessing that one is out… :’(</p>

<p>People who did their interviews, was it very research detailed interviews or more on the casual side?</p>

<p>Apparently, it varies depending on the mentor, but I’d prepare for the serious interview, as it’s fairly easy to do a casual interview impromptu. :P</p>

<p>Got the srs interview. :stuck_out_tongue: Spent a fair deal of time being grilled about my research experience. Didn’t think my responses were spectacular (I spent a bit time clarifying and qualifying), but too late to change that now.</p>

<p>He says he’ll let me know about his decision soon … wonder if that’s a good thing >.<</p>

<p>congrats on all who got in XD, but have you guys gotten any form of confirmation email or snail mail from the summer academy admins yet?
i havent heard anything from them yet</p>

<p>as of housing, i live near Duarte and I have heard it is not such a good area, so people I suggest that you do some research before renting a room :)</p>
