<p>I am going to Boston University this summer for a research internship in medicine. Is anybody else going to their high school honors program this summer, or has anybody been to it before?</p>
<p>Hopefully, if I am accepted. Have you already been accepted or are you a wishful thinker? If so, what are your stats?</p>
<p>I was accepted! I have a 3.94, 5 on the AP Bio and AP world after soph. year, This year I'm in 5 APs, including Calc AB and Chem. I'm also taking anatomy. I have a 221 PSAT and a 33 ACT. (I hadn't taken the ACT yet, so it didn't help) I also have a lot of extracurriculars, but I don't think they took that into account. Good luck! Please tell me if you get in!
Just out of curiousity, are you a male or female Alex?</p>
<p>I sent in my application on monday; I have not heard back yet. I applied to the Research Internship in Engineering or Physics.</p>
<p>By the way, where are you guys from?
Im from NC</p>
<p>I'm from Indiana. What are everyone elses stats?</p>
<p>I'm from California and plan to apply sometime this upcoming week.</p>
<p>How long after you sent in your application did you find out if you were accepted? How do they notify you?</p>
<p>Well...I live in Boston! So I guess I'll be here! haha</p>
<p>I needed to know really quickly, because I had also been accepted into Miami and only had a week to decide. I still hadn't heard with the Miami deadline fast approaching, so my mom called Boston and they said I'd gotten in. I received e-mail notification within a few days of that. I guess it took 2-3 weeks after I sent in the application.</p>
<p>emswim: Is the Miami program you applied to also related to scientific research?</p>
<p>sort of</p>
<p>to harvard ssp</p>
<p>No, it was kind of an intro to biomedical engineering. No research.</p>
<p>I'm having second thoughts about spending six weeks this summer alone on scientific research. I might instead take a 2- or 3-week long course at a university; I probably will not be applying to the Boston University program. Good luck to those who will be applying.</p>
<p>I'm going
Im hoping to do research in magnetism</p>
<p>Masamune: where are you from? Tell us a little bit about yourself.</p>
<p>I'm going to Harvard SSP.</p>
<p>i'll be headed to boston only if i get accepted into PROMYS, which is held at Boston University.</p>
<p>Oh hi! My name's Sam R. I'm a junior from Northern California (Bay Area I guess). I go to Monta Vista High School in Cupertino. </p>
<p>I'm highly interested in math (mostly analysis, and number theory) as well as in theoretical physics (magnetism espeically, such a cool field). Even still, I wanted to do some research this summer for the experience. </p>
<p>I'm completing AP Physics C and AP Biology this year and I take advanced math at Stanford University. </p>
<p>Last summer I participated in the PROMYS program, probably the best math camp ever. I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering a math camp as an option!</p>
<p>Masamune: what are your hobbies outside of academics? Do you play sports (I swim) or do any other extracurriculars?</p>
<p>Hmm..not really haha...junior year has taken a toll on my free time..</p>
<p>Although, I've managed to keep up with my reading (I really enjoy it). I'm a fan of "modern" transcendentalism, and my favorite books are Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Teaching a Stone to talk-both by Annie Dillard. </p>
<p>I like photography and architecture, but since I'm right now without a <em>good</em>, working camera, I draw to satisfy my craving of aestheticism.</p>
<p>Since I don't have the resources to travel right now, I also enjoy reading books about traveling. Not the tourist guides, mind you. I like to read fictional stories about traveling. There's something captivating about a poetic sojourn. In any case, when I can, I want to travel (I've never been outside of the country :( )</p>
<p>Yeah, in terms of extracurriculars, I don't do all that much. I'm proud and passionate about my Math and Science club though!</p>
