<p>Did anyone get into this program at Stony Brook University? If you did, how did you find out; email, letter? What does it explain in the email/letter? </p>
<p>Sorry for so many questions, but I found out I got in by my research teacher who works there and didn't get any letters or emails. I just want to know a little bit more about it so I can understand the program a little bit more. Thanks.</p>
<p>I found out I was accepted by email on April 2, all it said was: </p>
<p>"Welcome to the 2009 Garcia Summer Scholar Program</p>
<p>We are happy to have you on board this summer</p>
<p>soon you will be receiving a package by email that you must fill out and send to me asap
Sincerely,
Lourdes Collazo, MS"</p>
<p>But i was kind of a special case, i had applied to another program and they needed me to accept/reject them by a certain date, so i emailed Garcia asking if they could let me know of my acceptance/rejection asap.</p>
<p>Oh ok. Thanks. Are you going to dorm there?</p>
<p>-----bump-----</p>
<p>Did anyone else on CC get into this program, or went to this program in the past that can offer me some information about it?</p>
<p>I got in, and I got a second emai that said I would get the information packet by email by May 1st, but I haven’t gotten it yet.</p>
<p>Yea, I didn’t get anything, too. My friends who got into Garcia as well didn’t get anything either.</p>
<p>I didn’t get any followup information either</p>
<p>What wrong with Garcia? Was thing a problem for anyone who attended last year?</p>
<p>They seem to be pretty disorganized this year.</p>
<p>Hopefully, they aren’t like this during the actual program.</p>
<p>yup this is disappointing.</p>
<p>did anyone email them about this?</p>
<p>got the email today.</p>
<p>does anyone know approximate housing costs and food costs?</p>
<p>and whether hte dorms are nice?</p>
<p>you did? they haven’t sent it to me or any of my friends yet.</p>
<p>One of my friends that went to another program last year there got free housing and a free food card. It supplied $350 for food for one month (not including weekends) and mostly everyone spent all of it. She said we probably have to spend closely to $450 since we will be the for 7 weeks.</p>
<p>Sorry to resurrect this thread after several months!</p>
<p>I was wondering how the program is going for all of you.</p>
<p>Question: What grade levels can apply for the program? Are there many/any 10th graders (rising 11th graders) in the program?</p>
<p>And are most of the projects group efforts?</p>
