STILL NOTHING!!! THEY ARE TAKING FOREVER

I called. The coordinator of the program said they had over 200 applications, and they still have 50 more to review. She said they hope to get out interview notifications next week some time - probably by phone or Skype. Hope this helps.

@carlson2 yes thank you very much.

I received a rejection letter a week or two ago, so you all are probably still under consideration. Good luck!

11

15

16

Has anyone received anything in the mail today? Nothing for me yet :frowning:

17

@joshuakim11 nothing for me, maybe give it a day?

18

Nothing for me either. It irritates me that they post dates that they will notify applicants and they don’t adhere to them.

19

on a thread that I made, someone said that they called and the mail was sent out yesterday. apparently only 24 students got chosen out of 200 :open_mouth: . Everyone should get their mail in about a week.

Makes sense that SRAP is so competitive. It’s a real research program, not simply a line to name drop on your college app. Plus, you get paid. If anyone should be cut some slack at this busy time of year, it’s SRAP. SRAP is the gem of summer programs, in my opinion.

Compare it to the hilarious $ money spend of YYGS or Launch – which seem to me like obvious attempts to get the words ‘Yale’ or ‘MIT’ on your app. I would actually be embarrassed to confess on my college app that I paid $5500 for a two week program at Yale. Seems totally transparent to me.

It’s surprising that SRAP doesn’t get more attention here, but on the other hand they had a record number of applicants this year. Guess the word is getting out :slight_smile:
