<p>Hi everyone! I'm applying for the City of Hope Internship, and I'm wondering if anyone has previous experiences with the program. If you do, can you please shed light on this? I want to know what I am getting myself into before submitting the app...</p>
<p>(I'm a Sophomore, and I do have previous research experience with Purdue, is it worth it to go? Or should I just stay in my town and find a professor in Purdue to do individual research?)</p>
<p>heyyy i applied tooooo 
so happy</p>
<p>Nice! What grade are you in? And what professors/laboratories you are looking at?</p>
<p>wait a sec did results come out already?</p>
<p>I’m a junior in highschool, applied for Molecular and Cellular Biology lab, Hematopoietic Stem Cell and Leukemia Research lab, and Cancer Biology lab, i didn’t know that we had to include professors, i just listed out whichever lab i was interested in, so i’m probably not going to be picked haha, and Kcinvincibleman, the results aren’t out yet… probably will be out in a week or so… i shouldn’t even have hopes =.=</p>
<p>is there another COH thread here somewhere? because i’m not sure why this thread is so quiet when there are like over 1000 applicants…</p>
<p>Only other City of Hope thread I could find was from last year; we should revive this one.</p>
<p>Apparently, last year, applicants received decisions via snail mail around the 18th of April. I recently got my SIMR rejection, (which was fully expected) so time to wait for COH!</p>
<p>Do any past participants have any input on the competitiveness of internship research in competitions like ISTS or Siemmens?</p>
<p>They mention that “several” past students have done well in science competitions. I’d appreciate some elaboration by any past interns.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Did you guys get any confirmation for COH? </p>
<p>I feel your pain Saelanares, got the rejection from SIMR too. 4% acceptance !!!</p>
<p>I see some SIMR people here lol. So the results are coming out around 18th?</p>
<p>I got my rejection from jackson lab a while ago… lol i don’t’ expect much form this though… i hope i get in but i don’t’ wanna get my hopes up D: anyway what do you guys plan on doing if you don’t’ get accepted into any programs? (i hope that doesn’t happen to anyone but…gotta have a back up plan!)</p>
<p>There’s no specified decision date, but they came out around the 18th last year. I’d like to note that COH has, after the second round, about the same acceptance rate as SIMR - roughly 50 out of 1200 applicants make it (roughly 130 make the first round). However, college students also apply to COH.</p>
<p>I think my backup plan is to start emailing professors in the area… <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>hmmm i was thinking about emailing profs too… but isn’t it a little too late to do that? oh and … what is better, proposing an idea to show your idk… interest in their research, or just express interest some other way in the email and ask for a lab assistant position? because i kinda wanna use the result (if good enough) for the intel/siemen contests</p>
<p>Yeah… Just got rejected from SSP, but I do have an acceptance from the Harvard SSP, which essentially accepts near everyone.
I did a research for credit last summer in Purdue University, and that really gave me a lot of awesome experiences and such. Right now, I can only wait for CoH… I didn’t really apply any other programs since I’m only a Sophomore. Well, we’ll see how it goes.</p>
<p>Decisions are supposed to be released next week. I emailed the program directors</p>
<p>@kch674
Next week as in early next week or late next week? xD
The wait is on. (After USNCO on Saturday, at least…)</p>
<p>Last year, some found out on the April 10th</p>
<p>@kch674: Thanks for the information.</p>
<p>@Saelanares The email just said “We will be announcing next week.” No further information</p>
<p>oh my gosh … i guess i need to get ready for the rejection…</p>
