<p>Who applied to Clark Scholars?</p>
<p>I did, and my sis did, but i cant seem to find anybody else who applied...they only take like 10 kids every summer, but it seems like an AWESOME experience.</p>
<p>And does anybody know whewn the results are coming out?</p>
<p>i applied!! at texas tech? yeah i hope i get it because it sounds like sooo much fun!</p>
<p>they take 12 kids i think.</p>
<p>yea that sounds more accurate...ya the program sounds like a LOT of FUN and it is actually a research program (a good one too, because previous clark scholars have become intel and siemens semi-finalists [and finalists]). (and yes, i am talking about the one at texas tech)</p>
<p>Best part: it is FREE--in fact u MAKE $750 (after tax) by going there. It is a 7 week program. Cant think of a bettr way to spend part of the summer.</p>
<p>(un)fortunately ;), not many ppl know about it, so it should be easier to get into...</p>
<p>I applied too!
The email that confirmed that they received my application said that results come out "mid-April" but it is already the 17th so I don't know...
I am thinking that results will come out around the 20th though..</p>
<p>the person in charge (Dr. Michael San Francisco) just called to tell me that i was accepted! if any of yall are accepted, definitely don't hesitate to pm me and we'll chat! that way when we get to texas tech, we'll know each other!</p>
<p>Do they only contact you through phone?? that's bad, my line is crappy :(</p>
<p>yeah, i think so because there was another person on the rsi introduction thread that said he was called last sunday. and they didn't send me an email notifiying me (though they have responded to my emails about other things). and the guy also said that the official letters are coming out next week i think. good luck to all! hope to see you at ttu!</p>
<p>they only accept 12ish huh?</p>
<p>well, the guy who got it on RSI will probably turn Clark Scholars down right right ?!?! :p</p>
<p>hey guys! i have good news! i called the clark scholars people to ask when the official letters would be coming out, and the person said that decisions were still being made. hopefully that means they have only filled a few of the spots and some are still open. which also means that if you haven't been called there's still a chance!! and for better or for worse, she also told me that there were 86 applicants for the 12 spots, so it's competitive but definitely not as impossible to get in as rsi! hopefully this gives some people hope!</p>
<p>OMG! OMG! OMG!</p>
<p>HOPE!!!</p>
<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH! i really wanted to go to clark, and wuz depressed ithat i didnt get in....but now theres HOPE!</p>
<p>even if the dude who got into RSI turns down clark, nobody new would be selected. He's prolly gonna tell them like 2 weeks after all desicions have been made. So instead of going through and selecting one more person, theyll prolly just take 11 ppl. They have taken like only 9 ppl in the past.</p>
<p>btw birk, what's your area of research??</p>
<p>I think they are contacting everyone by phone. I got a call too.</p>
<p>i messaged the guy that got accepted to both RSI and clark. Based on what he said, it sounds like he already declined Clark. So i would think they are finding replacements</p>
<p>well on my app i checked biochemistry and biophysics. when the director called me, he said that he would present my application file to a possible mentor that was doing some work in neural cells i think.</p>
<p>ya he did decline clark.</p>
<p>do you guys know when we have to get a notice by?? </p>
<p>They call you even if it's rejection right?</p>
<p>no i dont think they will. Unless they are planning on calling all 86 ppl who applied. They might just send out an email.</p>
<p>Besides, what kind of a heartless monster would call you in person, get your hopes up, and then say you didn't make the cut? lol</p>
<p>gosh that'd be mean...but i don't think they'll call, from what the guy said, i think the letters would come out within the next week or two and that would include both the acceptances and rejections. BUT there's still a chance that you've been accepted! that'd be really great! so let's not give up just yet...that's what i did with my other apps, and then this came!!</p>
<p>ok then, I just want to be notified. This program i applied close by only notify acceptees, which sucks beucase then you are just left there. It becomes really confusing.</p>
<p>Congrats to all who have been accepted! </p>
<p>I just found out I was accepted too and was wondering if any of you guys had more detailed info. than was on the website such as a daily schedule or more precisely what we'll be doing there.</p>
<p>I also got accepted to the Baylor Summer Science Program and although I'm leaning towards Clark Scholars I don't really have enough info about Clark Scholars to compare and make an informed decision.</p>
<p>If any of you guys have input about either programs it's be greatly appreciated!</p>
