<p>I’m gonna assume you meant what are you talking about or who are you talking to. Aha. </p>
<p>I meant that I like it when people have the same problems. The CC community was such a lifeline while I was waiting to hear back from the Jackson lab internship.</p>
<p>You clarified beautifully despite my lack of clarification… Thank You</p>
<p>Heh, glad to know my fretting was of use. :P</p>
<p>5/6 more days! :O</p>
<p>@Sharingham lol thanks/you’re welcome? Ahh</p>
<p>@shadow YES. It really was. It’s okay, at least we were rejected together<3 And for SIMR we won’t have to endure stupid staggered admissions decisions.</p>
<p>lol it was only after college decisions that I realized it was a bit silly of me to freaked out so much over internships/colleges. It’s okay guys! Everything is going to turn out all right in the end :)</p>
<p>On a side note if you’re wondering: About the letter to roommate, write about something unique to you. Something you own, for example, that no one else owns; some characteristic that is uniquely yours, a special feature/talent. Make it interesting and personal too. Tell in your essay why it’s important to you and how you plan to share it with the world. Here’s an essay I found on the internet, scroll down to the letter to roommate essay. It’s one of the best essays I’ve ever read; No idea if the writer got in tho. </p>

<p>I hope my essays turn out as well as that kid’s. Wow. On a side note, I know people from granite bay! It’s really close to where I used to live. </p>
<p>Yeahhh I wasn’t worried about internships till I was rejected at three, waitlisted at a fourth. I kinda need this to seal up my apps and what not. Also, I would rather not spend the summer working at the local grocery store</p>
<p>theres 5 days left any acceptances?</p>
<p>I would imagine that since they’ve given a specific date, that there aren’t going to be any (or at most few) early or late acceptances. Granted, this is speculation (as the other programs I’ve applied to give decision windows), but I don’t see why’d they’d give a date and then send out decisions earlier.</p>
<p>I know people who were called ~2 days before the given date, so I guess if could happen again.
Blergh. I’d prefer email so I don’t get super nervous every time the phone rings…</p>
<p>Do they send out decisions via phone?</p>
<p>I think it’s acceptances through phone and rejections through email.</p>
<p>But acceptances also get an email.</p>
<p>I thought that it said on their website that ALL decisions would be posted to the portal where you can check your application status on the website on Friday.</p>
<p>But wasnt what they said and what they did regarding notification slightly different?</p>
<p>^Exactly. All decisions will be posted on the portal on April 13, regardless of acceptance or rejection. </p>
<p>However, last year a few people received an acceptance phone call a couple days before the decision date. But, some people didn’t receive that phone call until the decision day, so when you find out doesn’t seem to be an indicator of their decision.</p>
<p>Basically, maybe you’ll get called. Maybe you won’t. It doesn’t matter and it won’t affect your decision.</p>
<p>One Im scared about is the selection commity–is this by chance the commity that selects students for the actual university?</p>
<p>Does anyone know the comparative acceptance rate of people who were denied to the program compared to the regular population? Is there a large discrepancy?</p>
<p>SIMR is run by the school of medicine, which is largely autonomous to the undergraduate division of Stanford University. Most likely, most of the readers for SIMR are either medical faculty or members of the medical school selection committee. Of course, I really have no idea, but this seems to be the most likely scenario to me.</p>
<p>Since the application process is so competitive, I’d imagine that anyone strong enough to get into SIMR would be competitive in the general Stanford (and other universities) applicant pool. I don’t have any exact numbers, and I doubt they’ve been publicly released.</p>
<p>That I know. I was asking about the people that dont get in…</p>
<p>Reading fail on my part. >.< Ignore paragraph 2 then. I don’t think being denied from SIMR would be itself a reason for denial from Stanford undergrad, but meh.</p>
<p>lol yes people who get into SIMR are more likely to get into Stanford. And even if they don’t, they almost always make HYP. </p>
<p>With that said however, that doesn’t mean Stanford rejects ppl who didn’t get into SIMR. Everyone who got into S from my school got rejected from SIMR :D</p>
<p>Lol, the people who got into SIMR from my school didn’t get into any top ranked private school. Probably because SIMR doesn’t consider SAT scores as much as colleges do.</p>
