Jackson Laboratory Summer Student Program

<p>So, I applied to this this year, but it doesn't seem like that popular of a summer program? I didn't see any other threads on this. Did anybody else apply or was this a total mistake? I mean, it does kind of have a small acceptance rate...</p>

<p>hey i applied to this program and i just got my post card back a few days ago, i’m really nervous because i want to get it but i haven’t heard of any other people who have applied there but it seems like a good program
When do we find out if we got in our not?</p>

<p>i know. i feel like not a lot of people in high school applied. like, the threads for all the other summer programs are super long…
possibly they accept mostly college students, because AFTER i applied i looked at their past “jaxbook” or something, and only 2 students i saw were high school students, and they were both graduated seniors…
i think we’re supposed to find out in mid march?? i don’t remember… it said something in the application package.</p>

<p>yea, i noticed that to in their past yearbook or something it mentioned 2 seniors i think, but on the stats on their website it says about 17 high school students have entered and I have a feeling that not many people applied this year, well hopefully…
It’s not a big program like RSI or ROSS but it still sounds interesting and the location and house is gorgeous</p>

<p>anything that you apply to without PAYing for is usually a good opportunity and ‘prestigious’ (not that the ones you pay for aren’t legit). </p>

<p>i applied to Jax SSP this year too :)</p>

<p>ncmaalltheway are you a high school student or college student?</p>

<p>i’m a junior in high school. what about you guys??
i would love to get in, but i’m not sure if i had enough science background…</p>

<p>Most kids that get in are college students… My dad worked for the Jackson Lab a few years ago.</p>

<p>I’m a junior in high school too and I also really want to get in
Are you guys applying anywhere else?</p>

<p>Have any of you guys heard back from Jackson Lab yet?</p>

<p>nope…when were we supposed to hear back?</p>

<p>on the website it says that we should here back mid march so I’m thinking next week…does anyone know if its a letter or an email?</p>

<p>hey did anyone hear back yet?</p>

<p>i am a junior in high school.</p>

<p>urghhh I am so anxious! it’s practically exactly mid-March… It’s actually my birthday this week, and being accepted would be a nice present :)</p>

<p>My daughter just heard back from Jackson Lab this past weekend via email and they told her which lab she’d be working in and who she’ll be working with. She’s a college student.</p>

<p>well, i emailed him and he told me that the people that were accepted would find out this week pretty much and the rest will get a letter in about 2-3 weeks ughhhhh it’s so frustrating to wait though</p>
