does anyone know 1, how many people applied (particularly for mountain view) and 2, when we find out if we get an interview or not?
looking at the threads for past years, it looks like we find out about interviews near the end of April, and then we hear if we got in early May
It seems people heard about interviews in March end/ early April…
That is pretty last minute for a summer program.
What are people’s fall back plan if they don’t get in? Anyone trying to get a tech-related internship? Non-tech related job? Relaxing before college starts?
Hard to plan in advance if you won’t find out until late April/early May.
I agree @ormdad
If they start looking now for internships/jobs and get an offer, what are they supposed to do?
Is it too late to apply already? I just found out about this program now and i was able to create an account and start the general app but I’m not sure if it’s past the deadline or not. Thanks
last year about 3000 kids applied for the 90 openings There were kids there with little experience and some with a lot of experience. Google pays for everything and at the end gives you 500
@Remembrance
Sorry it’s too late. I just checked my CSSI app, and it says “Deadline: passed due”.
Does the scholarship portal tell you guys that your reference submitted their part? Mine still says not received but I talked to him and apparently he did it a few days ago… Is anyone else having this problem? I tried emailing the posted address but I haven’t heard anything back.
@riverseden I had that issue up until I actually submitted my application. Once I sent in my application, the status changed (even though my professor had sent in her recommendation a couple of weeks before). Did you or your instructor receive a confirmation email of any kind?
@lethallydia He said he did but there was some kind of error coming up afterwards. I just got an email back from Generation Google today. They’re just having him email the recommendation in to them by the end of the day so that they can attach it to my file manually.
@riverseden awesome. I’m glad you got it worked out!
What are the odds we hear march 31st?
Not hopeful of an invite but really hope to hear one way or another this week - tomorrow would be great! Last year some people heard back Mar 31st, right?
Yes, they did. Hopefully this year’s timeline is similar.
Has anyone heard anything?
Not yet…
Still nothing here. Really excited! (and a little nervous haha)
Is there definitely stuff coming out today? Or people are just guessing based on last year?
@ineversleep it’s a guess. Considering that they extended the deadline quite a bit, I wouldn’t count on it.
