Simons Research Program 2016

try to follow the directions at all costs, but i dont think it’ll negatively impact you significantly

My application just got sent…deep breaths…

does getting a letter of commitment from a mentor extremely helpful?

Is*

Have you guys gotten your recommendation letters? Is the due date tomorrow?

i just got everything submitted today, and yes, the due date is tmrw

I just submitted everything this afternoon (my recommenders didn’t sent my gc the letters until then LOL). Also, my guidance counselor didn’t send my application herself (she gave it to me in a sealed envelope). I really hope nothing went wrong because that was so stressful.

I’m honestly expecting a reject so I’m going to try to think minimally about it until late March.

^ Your recommenders really cut it close. Good thing that you saw it being mailed.
Good luck to everyone!

when should we expect an email/letter from the program telling us that they have received our completed application?

@cougar123 the website says a week after the deadline, so probably the 27th

thanks @athenanv13
it’s going to be a reallllly long wait haha

Has Long Island area been effected by the snow? Let’s hope not and everyone gets notified by the 27th.

new york got snow, so maybe… is anyone else applying to jackson lab?

This may be a stupid question since the deadline passed: Do you think I can still contact a professor to arrange for placement (since a professor doesn’t guarantee placement)?

@athenanv13 i think you still have a few weeks to contact professors

has anybody received an email yet confirming that the complete application was successfully received?

I haven’t, have you? @cougar123

I haven’t received a confirmation email. When did you guys get it?

I’m worried. I haven’t received a confirmation email. I’m going to email them. Is anyone in the same boat?

no i haven’t…
i guess the admissions people are just busy
