<p>Hi,
I have been looking for weeks for good summer science internships for high school students that provide housing and a stipend. Jackson Lab is so far the only one that meets everything I am looking for. However, I am aware admission is extremely competitive and I have no prior research/science awards. Do you think I still have a shot, even if I articulate my interests and ambitions well? Also, if you know of any other summer program for high school students that pays and provides housing for free or at a minimal cost, please let me know! Thanks!</p>
<p>…anyone??</p>
<p>Haha sorry for posting so late but umm…i think you have a decent chance? I applied with an insanely low GPA but amazing scores (2200+) and the fact that my father worked at Jackson Laboratory and established a great relationship with one of the professors there (the professor ended up writing his rec. letter to Columbia!). So I’m kinda hoping I’ll get in. Good luck.</p>
<p>hey guys i applied too, have any of you heard back yet??</p>
<p>I’ve applied this year too but I haven’t heard anything. I don’t think I’ll get in though</p>
<p>ahhh its really competitive and we’re competing against college students!
what are your stats??</p>
<p>has anyone heard anythinggggg?</p>
<p>
When are we supposed to hear back?</p>
<p>I wrote down “Late March” on my calendar, but I don’t remember where I got that date from… I’m assuming either from the Jackson Lab site or from creeping on past CC threads or something.</p>
<p>“Late March” is on the Jackson Lab website. That’s still a pretty wide range though. :)</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone has heard back, looking at the threads from previous years it seems like people should have already found out . . .</p>
<p>I think in previous years the acceptance letters were to be sent “Mid-March” hence the appearance of a lag this year. Has anyone emailed Randy Jackson concerning admittance notices yet? I haven’t received a reply or an acceptance notice, and have another summer program waiting (JAX is my first choice, though)…this is nerve wracking</p>
<p>Just heard back via phone. Anyone else working with Dr. Blake?</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>
<p>dp2012, are you a college or high school student? and do you know if all the accepted people have been contacted already?</p>
