Jackson Laboratory Summer Student Program

<p>Did anyone here go to the Jackson Lab SSP? If so, could you tell me how it was, whether it was a worthwhile experience, and also what sort of essay you wrote to get admitted? Thanks!</p>

<p>bump... he he</p>

<p>the deadline has passed (Jan. 18)...did you already submit your app?</p>

<p>yes, i was just wondering if anybody could tell me what it was like from their experience.</p>

<p>hey did u get ur postcard back?
i submitted my complete app like a week and a half ago, but still no postcard =(
i'm worried...and i even emailed them...but no reply.</p>

<p>i think they mail their decisions out in march.</p>

<p>omg same here... no postcard back</p>

<p>it's okay. i emailed the lady and she said they had 3 boxes of applications to sort through and would let us know asap.</p>

<p>Has anyone received their acknowledgement postcard yet?</p>

<p>i haven't =((</p>

<p>You need a citizenship or a perm. residence to apply, right?</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Yes. See <a href="http://www.jax.org/education/ssp/eligibility%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.jax.org/education/ssp/eligibility&lt;/a> ("must...be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.")</p>

<p>no postcard yet. I got the same email about the three boxes of apps.</p>

<p>nope not yet =[[[</p>

<p>is this very selective?</p>

<p>I'd like to know better some of the people who've been through this program. What were their qualifications, what were they like?</p>

<p>Go to their website at <a href="http://www.jax.org/education/ssp.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.jax.org/education/ssp.html&lt;/a>
and click on the Visit the 2007 Summer Student Program site link under the photo. </p>

<p>There's a lot of information on their site.</p>

<p>nahhh this program aint that good leetx......the ssp in cali is like ten times better!!!!!</p>

<p>haha.. yet I still want to get in really badly!</p>

<p>you have to pay 3k to do SSP</p>

<p>this program pays you to go. hence, its ALOT better.</p>

<p>FYI: our daughter received her acknowledgment postcard yesterday...</p>
