MRSEC Garcia 2013

<p>Since I didn't see a thread for this yet, here it is.
Anybody attend this from past years?</p>

<p>I’ll be applying to Garcia as well. Would love to hear from some past participants!</p>

<p>I’m applying. Looks like a quality program.</p>

<p>Any feedback from anyone who has attended so far?</p>

<p>That is not good for those who reside outside of NY area.</p>

<p>Is that really true?</p>

<p>Can someone who has attended Garcia please confirm if they will only take people from NY area?</p>

<p>Anyone know if SAT scores are required? I have the ACT and PSAT, but still have to take the SAT.</p>

<p>How selective is Garcia?</p>

<p>Should people who are more interested in physics/mechanical engineeing apply to this program or is it not such a good fit? Can someone who went please help? Any general comments/observations are welcome… trying to decide whether to apply or not. Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m applying but I don’t have any research experience. If anyone else is/was in the same boat, what did you say for the question about experience? I’m reluctant to leave it blank or nearly blank since there are only three questions.</p>

<p>yeah same with me Chlobird</p>

<p>I spoke with one of the administrative people at the Garcia Center and she said that the program does not restrict their admissions based on whether or not the student applicant is from NY. They have summer housing for students who are out of state or live too far away to commute every day.</p>

<p>Anyone know if Garcia application due by Feb 15th means all materials received by this date or just postmark date? Thanks.</p>

<p>if Feb.15 is the postmark date or receive by date…</p>

<p>i emailed, its postmark date</p>

<p>They don’t mention test scores but would it be a good idea to send them anyway?</p>

<p>Hey do we have to hand-write the application or can we type? (I’m aware that the application says “Please write clearly!”).</p>

<p>Does anybody how many applicants they accept?<br>
How many students have applied for the program?</p>

<p>@golfin96</p>

<p>They accept around 60 students</p>

<p>I don’t know how many people apply</p>
