Hi there,
My high school junior was just accepted to City of Hope Summer Research Internship. She is over the moon! Any alumni out there that can share their experience at CoH and if and how it impacted their college application process? Thank you!
Hello there,
My daughter was rejected, and she is ranked #1 in her class of over 640 students with a GPA over 4.5. She is also well versed in wet lab protocols, as her high school program of emphasis offers her unique experiences with technology and procedures normally not encountered by high schoolers. However, in high school, she has not yet earned any scientific honors such as Biology Bowl, Intel, Siemens search, etc. She would like to build a stronger application for summer programs in general next year. City of Hope’s application process did not allow her to portray her individuality with each essay strictly limited to a few characters. The website also said that they are not looking for research experience but rather an “unusual” profile. To help her for next year and to understand what makes a standout candidate, would you be willing to share your daughter’s extra-curricular experiences? We feel that this is the area that may be holding my daughter back from standing out. Congratulations to your daughter! She had beaten the most incredible odds!
My high school junior was just accepted as well! She’s very excited about the opportunity. Hopefully it will be a good experience. Do you know what you are doing for housing
Is she a sophomore or a junior ?
junior!
@pennave is your daughter a sophomore or junior? My daughter does not have any science awards either, but she has been pursuing research since freshman year since thats all she cared about… Maybe try to get her into a local university for research to see if she likes it?
Did she hear back from a PI as yet ?
Hi,
I have gotten into the City of Hope Roberts Research Program, but the only issue I have is with housing. I live out of state and the program does not provide any housing for those under 18. Does anyone know of any housing possibilities that are around the area?
Thank you in advance
@violin19 hey! I got into the DMRI program from city of hope and was wondering the same thing! did you figure anything out?
