Shumway Surgical Skills Stanford Summer Internship?

<p>Hey congratulations to all that made it in!
Im really looking to applying for this program next year. Do you guys have any tips as to how to get in?</p>

<p>Just got a confirmation email for program 1. See you guysā€¦</p>

<p>yeah i guess the stats i posted are a little doubtful, but i PMā€™d someone who got in last year, and they said that about 20 people out of the 300 that applied made it, and thatā€™s 6.667%. that statistic is just based on trust from this website though haha sooo donā€™t rely on it :P</p>

<p>Hey everyone, my name is Maxx (im a girl), im currently a junior in high school, and I am going to the second session! I just got the email about the housing options, so Iā€™m looking into different apartment options. Are there possibly any other girls that are considering an apartment (maybe we can find a place/be roommates and split the price)? Please respond on the thread or pm/email me if youā€™re interested; thanks!</p>

<p>What types of housing does this program offer? Is it apts only? Are the high school students on their own? Is there a dorm room/on campus option available? </p>

<p>How is the Financial aid?</p>

<p>iā€™m a girl, and iā€™m considering the option of staying with the group in an apartment that they are going to arrange</p>

<p>Wow okā€¦ thanksā€¦</p>

<p>So they donā€™t offer on campus housing for this program??? I donā€™t think apartment living would be a viable option for my daughterā€¦ I would much rather a dorm setting.</p>

<p>Sorry to be bumping, does anyone have info on ON CAMPUS housing for this program?</p>

<p>^Iā€™ll be in SIMR, not Shumway, but they told us that nobody under 18 can get a dorm. Housing confirmed this, so I would assume it applies to you guys as well. </p>

<p>As far as ā€œapartment livingā€ not working for your kid/you, come on guys. Itā€™s not too difficult, lots of kids have done it and will be doing it. If you have the independence for a summer program like this, you can rent an apartment. Itā€™s not really that different from a dorm, except you have to prep your meals (thereā€™s a Safeway and CVS very close to available apartments).</p>

<p>Either take what Stanford is arranging you (lucky, btw, SIMR did nothing for us lol) or make your own arrangements. But HURRY, everything is filling. I would recommend Oak Creek or Sharon Green apartments - both offer short term rentals, but are very expensive. Thatā€™s just how palo alto is. Alternatively, you could sublet a room of grad student housing, which is on campus, but youā€™ll have to share the apartment with a current grad student if that bothers you.</p>

<p>we actually ended up getting on campus housing!</p>

<p>Thats great! How did you arrange this? What is the charge for the housing? Would love detailsā€¦ thanks so much.</p>

<p>Has anyone gotten any more information about the program, such as schedules and times? I feel like they havenā€™t really contacted me at allā€¦</p>

<p>I would also like to ask againā€¦ about on campus housing! Please give details if at all possble.</p>

<p>Havenā€™t received anything either</p>

<p>Hey! Iā€™m going to session 1 and I just finished my high school junior year.
I havenā€™t gotten any other information either since they emailed me the form for scrub sizes.</p>

<p>Session 1 starts in 2 weeks but I have no clue whatā€™s going on! Hopefully theyā€™ll be sending something out soon?</p>

<p>I finally got an email today about the program, but I got the information/feel that there are two groups per session with each group having 30 studentsā€¦
Having heard that makes me feel like maybe the program wasnā€™t as selective as I thought it was. Talk about bummer. That doesnā€™t make me feel accomplished at all.</p>

<p>Usually internships that charge a fee (this one is 3k) arenā€™t as selective. On the other hand selective ones such as RSI, SIMR, Clark etc are near impossible to get into. Letā€™s make the best of what we gotā€¦</p>

<p>Are any of you guys staying in the Grove House for session 1?</p>
