Starting a discussion for high school students who applied to the Memorial Sloan Kettering HOPP summer program in NYC. Has anyone heard one was or another about admission?
I applied last year and got notified that my application advanced to Round 2 (finalist) on March 31st, but they ultimately notified me that I was not accepted on May 8th. It took a LONG time lol. I’m assuming similar dates this year. I’m applying again and hoping for the best.
It said April 12 is the latest notification date on the website. Was it the same last year and you still didn’t get notified until May? Thanks.
For those who got in last year but living outside NYC, where do you find the housing info? My S intends to be applying for next year, but we are living 2 hours away from NYC.
@AudreyM It was supposed to be mid-April last year (no exact date)
March 31st is when they released first round decisions last year. If you are accepted to the next round, then they may request for an interview. Good luck to all!
@FrenchHorn240 French Horn, what labs did you apply to last year?
Thanks @hyperpi314 ! Those who were accepted proceed to the next round? Were there any direct acceptances (without going to the next round)?
@AudreyM I don’t think so. The first round is conducted by a general group of admissions people, and when they select you, they pass your application onto the Lab leaders of the lab that you applied for. So for the next round, I think it is a different group of people that is evaluating your application.
Thanks @hyperpi314. We didn’t hear back today so I guess the wait continues, unless they will send out notifications in the weekend.
@AudreyM last year, it was March 31st (which is today!) Getting nervous!
@hyperpi314 You think they would send it out on a Saturday? March 31 last year was a Friday.
@AudreyM - I assume they will send out the batch of first round rejections this coming Monday, April 2nd. Would appreciate it if folks would share outcomes as they come in. Best of luck to all!
@TenSwamps Since we did not receive results today, I think that would make sense. Thanks and good luck to you as well.
Thanks @hyperpi314 and @TenSwamps . I hope we will hear tomorrow. Good luck to everyone!
Haven’t heard anything yet. Anyone else?
They said final decisions would come out on April 13th. Not sure about the rounds.
Hi @MedHopeful0213, I believe it was the same case last year - mid-April as the communicated final decision date (on the website) but the applicants still went through round 1and 2. Final decision was communicated in May.
I hope you are right though. It would be great if we know the final decision on April 13.
If the final decision was on April 13th, then the rounds must occur at least a week before… I assume. After all, the lab matching/pairing process isn’t that quick…
My son had not heard anything either way. Certainly different from 2016 and 2017 when they sent out notices in late March.
