Shumway Surgical Skills Stanford Summer Internship?

<p>Does anyone know any information about this internship? I've researched the website as it sounds like a great program.</p>

<p>Has anyone here applied to this program and gotten accepted? I would love to know any information about the application process, and how things go as of admissions.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>yea, it sounds like a great program to me too…I dont think the app for the summer is out yet. My only prob with it is that it says high school and pre-med students. Am a junior in college and the idea of being surrounded with a lot of high school kids is not really appealing to me. But if its a mix of both high school and college students that would be great! Good luck applying though!</p>

<p>i just received my acceptance letter for this! it does sound like a good program. i’m a high school junior at the moment. does anyone know the stats for admission? like how many people applied v. how many got in?</p>

<p>Did they email you or mail you a letter for the acceptance ?? I haven’t got mine yet.
And what’s your stats, are you a junior /senior in high school and GPA, etc… ?
Thanks</p>

<p>yeah they emailed it to me. did you apply too? ahh good luck (: my GPA is a 3.853 unweighted and a 4.116 weighted, so it isn’t that great. i took a lot of APs though (5 this year as a high school junior). i got into session 2 (the sessions are the same, it’s just the dates that are different. do you know what percentage of people are accepted? again good luck!(:</p>

<p>oh by the way i didn’t submit an SAT because i hadn’t received my score for that yet. my PSAT was too low for my liking so i didn’t do that either.</p>

<p>did you apply too, Cordycepin?</p>

<p>infinitynerd : I applied, and haven’t heard from them yet, I am only a sophmore with 4.0/4.13GPA, with lots of experience …wonder why they don’t take me, maybe because I am a sophmore. So are you going ?? Pls update us on what it’s like after the summer, THX !
Have fun !</p>

<p>wow, great gpa! just because you haven’t heard anything yet doesn’t mean they won’t still take you! and i don’t think i got accepted because of my gpa or experience. i think a lot of people who applied to this had experience. for me, it was definitely my essays, which were probably the best personal essays i have written. i have a lot to write about though. i am officially going (: are you international? i’m in the US so maybe that has something to do with it.</p>

<p>Infinitynerd: I ended up not applying and applied to my state’s governor school for medicine instead (Virginia). </p>

<p>Congrats on acceptance though! Do you have any more information like program costs or whats covered? I would love to apply next year. Congrats again!</p>

<p>Hi - I was accepted as well. How do you tell which session you were accepted to? The acceptance letter didn’t mention anything. Thx</p>

<p>Cordycepin: WAIIIT A SECOND. fellow virginian! woohoooo(((: what are the odds of that?! I applied for gslsm too, but my school system is the most competitive in the united states , so my school had multiple cuts and i didn’t make the very last one. thankfully, i knew before this deadline and i guess that rejection was sort of a wake up call for me so i was able to scramble and submit my app for this too. thanks(: the curriculum is on the website, and the cost is there too. i think it’s 3000 dollars…unfortunately. i’m going to fundraise though(: and housing is apparently available also! you should definitely apply next year. it sounds like an amazing experience. i’m totally pumped!</p>

<p>stanfordready: YAY CONGRATULATIONSSS(: yeah, my acceptance letter didn’t say anything either but i found that it was in the subject of my email. i.e. “Stanford - Shumway Surgical Summer Internship 2012 for program 2 w revised dates” congrats(: it would be so cool if we are in the same session. high school or undergrad? and are you international? i really want to meet international people…lol.</p>

<p>Hello CC:
I am a sophmore and I just got accepted into Shumway at Stanford, I also got accepted into UI SSTP, which is also a very good program.
I am so torn between which one to go to, suggestions ??
Thanks</p>

<p>I have the same acceptance email and didn’t mention anything about dates.</p>

<p>that’s odd. i had the “program 2” in the subject of my acceptance letter, and then i looked online on the website for dates.</p>

<p>I got accepted to Shumway too!! Does anyone know how prestigious this program is? I couldn’t find anything. Also, how do you know which session you got accepted to? I don’t see anything about which session I got accepted to on the letter I received. Thanks!</p>

<p>i called and asked a week ago because i wanted to know about housing. when i told them i was in session 2 (it said in the subject of my email), they said “oh so you must be underage” so i’m guessing that high schoolers were placed in session 2 and undergraduates are in session 1</p>

<p>and shumway has an approx 6.6% acceptance rate i think, in case that helps with your decision bbcarol</p>

<p>I was accepted. Im a junior in HS. The subject did not not say which session so I’m assuming I’m in session 1. Maybe I should call and confirm. Can someone let me know what number to call? Thanks</p>

<p>Hey you guys :slight_smile: I was accepted back in early March but just found this thread. ^ I’d like to know the number as well and any other thoughts on how prestigious this program is? Also, where’d you find the acceptance rate stats, infinitynerd?</p>

<p>Looks like everyone who applied on this thread got in and it costs $3k, so perhaps not that prestigious. I doubt the 6.6% acceptance stats someone posted, but could be wrong.</p>
