@fortorange I was not an alternate. And my deadline to reply was today. There seem to be different “waves”, but I can’t figure out the order, if there is one. I thought it might be geographic (I’m from Ohio) but I’m now pretty sure that’s not it.
@picats3141 I was in your same boat until Tuesday
I got in today! I was wait listed, until I got an email saying someone had not been able to attend and asking if I was still interested! I am so excited!
Congrats to everyone who’s going and sorry if you didn’t make it. But, there are still so many other research opportunities available. I know a lot of kids in my school emailed professors and other researches around the area, asking to lend a hand in the lab.
Also, I don’t know if there are more spots in this program. I know the last date to decline the acceptance has passed, but the one to conform is Monday – which is a bit confusing. :-?
Alternates (like me!):
Have any of you received already a notification telling you that all spots are full? I’m wondering because the alternate letter says “first week of May” and I haven’t received anything telling me about my status…
