Simons Summer Research Program 2020

I applied to molecular biology, so I assumed it’d be competitive

I applied Physics & Astronomy and they still didn’t send me an update. @nanomnanom Is there anything in particular you think you had that got you accepted? I’m just interested in what they are looking for.

Parent of Simons 2019 student. Simons had rolling admissions in 2019.

Rejected as well. That is so sad.

accepted! excited to meet everyone

accepted here! if you would like to get to know me please instagram DM me @amalyazeji !! (i want to make friends heheh)

Accepted! to anyone accepted, we should start a group chat!

agree! insta DM me @amalyazeji i’m trying to start one haha

my instagram is rebeccaamonge, DM me so we can talk !!

For all those that were accepted, what do you think helped your application stand out? Particularly, was there something important that you emphasized in your essays (even though they were so short)?

On my app I emphasized an interest in my topic of microbiology and I also had a running theme of globalization

Am I still in contention if I haven’t received anything yet?

Did you guys find a mentor before applying?

Accepted!! Does everyone know if they’re going to accept the offer?

@HsStressed there are a lot of kids who get into this and RSI so not everyone is going to. @ahan135, I think you should be fine, it’s rolling apparently. And for essays, I just emphasized one important characteristic of myself through different lenses, whether that be through stem or ec.

Has anyone been waitlisted or know the chances of being taken off waitlist?

I was waitlisted. I’m just hoping and praying now!
