SIMR (Stanford Institutes of Medicine Summer Research Program) 2015 THREAD

It’s SIMR, so above the 2300/3.9/decent EC line, I’d say it’s essentially a crapshoot. (Of course, that rather describes the freshman admissions process at a certain institution as well.) Your stats seem decent - wouldn’t worry too much if I were you.

anyone get any update? i know it says notification by April 3rd.

Not yet :neutral_face:

Post when you hear guys! :slight_smile:

Only 3 days 16 hours and 26 minutes!!!

This wait will likely ruin my spring break…

OMGGG

Good luck guys!

what are your guy’s stats? I posted mine on the first page of this thread

Rec from AP Physics teacher: Decent. Not sure how it factors in SIMR admissions or compares to that of others.

Overall I probably don’t hold a candle to most SIMR applicants, especially the Bay Area ones.

About 1 day and 15 hrs left!

I’m getting nervous…

Are the notifications going to be released just generally on Friday or is there a specific time?

@dearestcurry‌ They said notifications would be released around 5 pm tomorrow. I’m assuming the notifications can come anywhere from 4:30 to 5:15. I read through the last year’s thread, and that’s what they did.

Good luck to everyone!! :smile:

On last year’s thread they called those who were accepted. Are they going to call or email this year, or both?

@ChemFire085‌ it’s their call to make

@ChemFire085‌ It didn’t say anything about calling, but if they did that last year, I think they’re probably going to do both this year.

Oh, ok thanks! And good luck to you all…

Last year, most people who were accepted got calls. A few got emails of acceptance. Those rejected got only emails. Everyone gets an email in case u don’t have ur phone when they call

Anyone get anything yet?
