Garcia MRSEC Summer Science Research Program 2011

<p>Looking for someone who attended it last year.
What was the format ? Was it 2 weeks of classes and 5 weeks of research or something else?
Any other feedback ?</p>

<p>did you get any word back from Garcia whether you got in or not? also, via snail mail or email?</p>

<p>My son got an email this morning saying he was accepted. Details will be sent next week - also via email.</p>

<p>i was accepted as well! Now I’m deciding between Baylor HSSSRP, Florida SSTP, and Garcia. Any input on this program?</p>

<p>Is your son attending? What is the deadline for accepting the internship?</p>

<p>ahhh i haven’t gotten an email either way!! did they send out all the emails for rejections and acceptances?</p>

<p>Got an email confirming my placement for Garcia MRSEC…</p>

<p>I am waiting for city of hope and I was wondering how much value addition does this internship provide to a college app.</p>

<p>The program is worth it if you’re willing to actually work your butt off for 8+ weeks and make the most of the program. Its a great experience for meeting new friends and learning real lab skills.</p>

<p>if we haven’t heard yet does that mean rejection?</p>

<p>yea so does this mean those that didnt get letters yet are rejected??..</p>

<p>Probably. I know at least one person who got accepted but isn’t going, and I don’t know if Garcia will try and fill those spots or not.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if they always release all the acceptances on the same day?</p>

<p>for those who are accepted can u post ur stats particularly gpa</p>

<p>do u kno wat date the aceptees have until to respond to garcia?</p>

<p>gpa: 3.85
psat: 206</p>

<p>does anyone know if any sophomores got accepted this year? I heard only three were accepted last year</p>

<p>^ that’s not correct – at least 5 of the 50 were sophomores. from the list of siemens semi-finalists who did the program, j coroar, h flores, k sangani, e schneider, and t wang were all sophs. there were likely more, since those are only the ones who were siemens semifinalists</p>

<p>oh ok thanks. was there a waitlist last year? like were more people accepted to fill in the spaces of the people not going? thanks</p>

<p>Got in, but a lot of my friends haven’t heard anything at all yet either way… Does anyone know how many participants come from out of state?</p>
