Girls Who Code Immersion Program 2016

@kattymiao The email said anytime between now and the 1st week into a program you applied to.

has anybody been pulled off the waitlist yet?

I haven’t… I really want to know soon though as I have possible summer conflicts. :frowning:

@drakonus same here, I’m going to enroll in community college classes and apply for a summer job, but I’d hate to commit to something and then find out I got off the waitlist.

@kattymiao Same; I was going to start emailing professors but it’d be really insensitive to later reject them if I get in a program… for now I enrolled into online college course classes. I might try to get an internship at a law firm too!

@drakonus mhm yeah I totally get that… Good luck with your internships!!!

@kattymiao Good luck to you too!!

I got into IBM in NYC!!

I actually got off the waitlist! Lockheed martin DC

Does anyone know how hard it is to get into the program, or what criteria was used to select participants?

@lavalump How did they notify you? By email or phone?

I got off the waitlist too! Into Adobe San Jose!!! @drakonus they notified me by email

I got no emails yet :frowning: Thanks though!

It was through email

I got off the waitlist too, but I ended up getting into my first choice summer program. I was so confused b/c I was emailed to attend a conference call and was still waitlisted at the time. I got my acceptance email about 2 hours later. I have to decline, but will definitely apply next year.

I also got off the waitlist yesterday!

I still haven’t gotten off. :frowning:

Got off waitlist today! Very scared because of possible scheduling conflicts.

@drakonus Yay and congratulations! What location is your program? What are those possible schedule conflicts? I hope they work out.

My sister wants to know how non-locals figured out housing. We live 4 hours away, so driving isn’t feasible. Since her program assignment is at a UT, she can rent a dorm/apartment, but the stipend doesn’t entirely cover the cost. Our closest family lives in Houston. A previous participant told me she rented out a dorm room with ease. Anyone else have this same problem?
