Roswell Park Cancer Institute - High School Summer Internship 2015

something like “I wish to congratulate you on your Roswell Park’s program… (Mentor’s name) has accepted you into their lab… He’s providing a stipend and financial assistance to support dormitory lodging…” the fine print said I shouldn’t copy the contents, but that’s the gist of it. Mjj223, did you end up getting in?

I haven’t gotten an email

So I don’t know what that means

That’s probably better than getting a rejection. I don’t know the exact specifics of their admissions process, but if they’re like other programs, they probably do rolling admissions by lab. Assuming you met the bar for general admission, the labs should pick who they want. So if you haven’t heard I’d at least assume you cleared the initial bar. Have you emailed Dr. Kisailus?

No, I have not. do you suggest I do?

@mjj223 I wouldn’t I was reading through the old forums and one person emailed him and then got a prompt rejection letter but idk I still haven’t received anything either :frowning:

Yea I’m gonna wait it out

I mean, I’d email eventually at least. If you want to wait, I wouldn’t suggest waiting too long.

Anyone hear anything?

Have you gotten abything

No I haven’t gotten anything yet :frowning:

This is getting kind of crazy

Yea ik like last year the same thing happened they waited so late until like late May and people still didn’t know
Ugh its just annoying at this point

Very true

Nothing yet. It’s safe to assume I didn’t get in I guess

I STILL haven’t heard a thing so i’m pretty sure I didn’t get in, like why couldn’t they just send some sort of email?

Still haven’t gotten anything

@Sydneympm this is absolutely ridiculous! I have cancelled all my summer plans in hopes of getting this internship. I along with some of my friends in the area have tried contacting with no response. I’m assuming I did not get accepted, but some sort of email or letter would have been much appreciated considering I have no summer internships I could accept :frowning:

@mjj223 Yes this is terrible and completely unprofessional, I didn’t apply for a few things in hopes of landing this but they never replied. I am safe to assume that i haven’t gotten in and I abandoned all hope like 3 weeks ago, so i tried other places. This is unacceptable, i mean why would they wait this long? ugh im so annoyed

@Sydneympm After severel emails and contacting them, I finally recieved a rejection letter. They said something along the lines of they thougt they had sent me one and must’ve forgot and all the program acceptees were notified months ago. I understand this is a highly prestigious program, and I may have not made the cut, but I deserved to know. Especially when I had asked several times. It was an extensive application along with a fee, and I was notified months late. This is truly unprofessional to say the least. Good luck and Congratulations to all of you accepted into the program. However, if you are reading this thread and plan to apply for the internship next year, make sure you have a back up plan. I had a friend who this happened to in the past and he was devastated because he rejected an internship with NYU in hopes of getting this one. Make sure to keep in constant contact with the program to make sure they “remember” to send you an acceptance or a denial.
