I just got acceptance email and so want to start this thread as I can not find any other thread on this topic. Any one else got accepted?
@ShriGanesha Congratulations! Where are you from? What area are you studying? I don’t know if any of us will be getting such an email because it is at least a month earlier than when they normally send them out. (But there’s always hope!)
Btw, there’s already a thread going that you may want to repost your acceptance on http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1730979-simons-summer-research-program-2015.html#latest
Was it the actual acceptance? Or the email they often send in February to ask if u are interested in working in a particular lab? According to the office last week, acceptances are not going out until March.
^^ Did they say when the acceptances will be going out in March?
Wow, so early. Congratulations!
Did they say that they have accepted you in the email or offered an interview?
just got accepted
it was more of a likely email though
^Could you please clarify
@CHD2013
the email said my professor confirmed he will work with me and that although they can’t send out official acceptances until mid-march they look forward to working with me.
I hope that means acceptance
because most decisions are made by mid-march
this is my theory: professors start choosing their students and decisions are not made all at once. Because almost alldecisions will be made by mid-march, they release all the acceptances at once in mid-march. Maybe a few early acceptance(likely) emails already got emailed out.
wait not mid-march, later in march sorry
Thanks very much. I appreciate the clarification.
@debate4ever Can you please tell me a bit about how you chose your mentor, what you emailed them etc., and so on…? I would really appreciate it!
