@Desiboy02 First and foremost, CONGRATS!!! If you’re comfortable sharing, when did you get your acceptance email and where is your name in the alphabet?
damn they really do be hatin on the juniors this year huh ??
also congrats @Desiboy02 !!
I’m a junior and I haven’t heard anything. When do the rejections come out?
@epinerd They should come out at the end of March; acceptances will be sent out sporadically up until that point (from what I’ve read)
high school junior and haven’t heard anything yet. i tried really hard on my application, so i’m holding out faith, but this is grueling geez
anyone know if they accept application updates or nahhh
What kind of application updates? I’m guessing no.
Yes, it is grueling. So far, it seems, no juniors have heard anything. Let’s keep each other updated! Sending good vibes!
im applying as a senior and heard nothing yet
@Desiboy02 @crunchybagels I cannot stress enough what an amazing experience JAX was. Living in Bar Harbor all summer was absolutely fantastic. I’m from Maine but Mainers don’t really go to MDI in the summer because we tend to try to avoid tourists so I hadn’t spent much time on the island and I fell in love with it. I miss the people in the program, my lab, and Bar Harbor every single day, no joke. JAX is an incredible place to work. They are extremely accommodating and really just an environment full of kind, down to earth, welcoming human beings. It was definitely intimidating to go there as a junior in high school but everyone was very understanding and they usual accept a couple juniors and a couple seniors every year so I didn’t feel too out of place, especially since they try to group the high schoolers in rooms together. I learned a ton while I was there and my PI was very helpful in guiding my understanding of the project. The other summer students were also a great support network and helped me through a lot. The whole house really felt like a family by the end of the summer. Overall, it was just a really fun and informative summer and I would do it again ten times over if I could.
Any updates?
@jfhdjhfdyhnfn I haven’t heard anything, and I doubt they will send anything over the weekend.
Is anyone here an undergrad? I’m a rising senior undergrad, and I didn’t know if they were sending out high school and undergrad acceptances at the same time…
Any news for anyone? Do you think it will still happen due to COVID 19? Crazy times.
@boondoggle1234
No news, and I don’t know. I really hope the program I was accepted into isn’t canceled either. We all worked so hard, and it would be terrible if all these summer programs were canceled this year!
Anyone heard anything?
Nope. Nothing here.
Hey @Desiboy02 I was also accepted into the program this summer! Im really excited but worried its going to get cancelled. Have you heard anything?
Im a high school senior that got accepted and I got my award letter on March 10th. In my email from Mr. McKernan it says " along with about 32 other undergraduate and senior high school participants from across the US." Idk if they are going to accept any juniors this year
