Hey there! Has anyone who applied to MSRP General this year got any update on admission? I know the MSRP-Bio has sent out decisions pretty early.
No update at all. They said decisions would be released mid-March so I’m assuming by the end of this week? Most summer REUs already got back to me so I really need to know too, so I can decide on where to be this summer. Have you tried calling them?
Not yet…I guess contacting them isn’t necessary for now cause there’s still one week till mid-March. Last year some people didn’t hear back till May so I hope at least decisions come out on regular dates.
I don’t have the option to wait until May because I already have acceptances lined up and I have until the end of March to reply. I’ll be calling next week if I don’t hear anything and I’ll update what I know on here, unless we hear back before I have to call them. What program did you apply for?
I am an international geoscience major so I didn’t really apply for much, actually 3 in total. Got rejected by Stanford SURG some weeks ago and by another internship in Alaska recently. I need to know ASAP as well just because the round-trip airlines for summer are getting more expensive as I wait lol
Heard back earlier today around 1pm. Got accepted I agree the responses are slow tho, cuz I got accepted to MSU, Northwestern, and USC before March. Still haven’t heard back from any of Leadership Alliance schools tho (Stanford, UPenn, etc.)
AlbertD which department did you apply for? I heard from previous years that notifications vary depending on department.
Wow congrats AlbertD!! Mind if I borrow some luck from you
Electrical and Computer Engineering. The 3 professors I chose are working on optical communications, if that helps
Haha thanks!
@AlbertD congratulations man !!! I have also applied in ECE department. Do you have any research experience related to where you applied ?
@Battosai thanks! And I did SROP at Northwestern last summer, and i am currently in LSAMP Program at my school (UTSA). As far as research topics, at NU I did image processing/clustering algorithms, but at UTSA I work on fiber optic communications/grating coupling
@AlbertD congrats! I wish that they would release decisions at the same time instead of releasing them individually like this. I applied mainly for AMO and condensed matter stuff in the physics department, and in physicists’ reference frames, mid March can be anything… Either way, congrats to those who got accepted! I really hope to see you this summer as well, and best of luck to those who are still waiting!
Is anyone an international student ?
@Battosai you didn’t read my comment carefully enough man Are you international as well?
@camillalxyyy lol
I just saw it. Yup, I’m an international student as well.
Great to know you! Alright, another five days of checking email every one minute begin. Good luck the waiting folks!
yea, feels like I’m waiting for my undergraduate admission decisions…lol
