<p>Does anyone know anything about the Cornell Nanobiotech? Is it hard to get into like RSI?? </p>
<p>Is NIH also hard to get into?</p>
<p>NIH isn't impossible to get into apparently, but a lot of those kids doing it seem to be children of employees or have connections like that...
in terms of selectivity RSI is probably much harder to get into than either program, but cornell nanobiotech is likely pretty competitive</p>
<p>THe question I have for Cornell Biotech - why doesn't it ask for teacher recs, transcripts, or test scores?</p>
<p>Does anybody here have any experience at all with Cornell Bionanotech? Seems like nobody here besides you and tennisdude have heard about it.</p>
<p>Ok - COrnell Nanobiotech app deadline is by March 1st. So if I mail it in by today or tomorrow, will they receive it by March 1st?</p>
<p>Does this essay look good so far? (now I'm experiencing some writer's block)</p>
<p>Letter of Intent. </p>
<p>I always held a deep interest in science and its potential to benefit our world. While other students are having fun playing games or chatting with each other, I try to gain exposure to science during my spare time. I enjoy reading scientific magazines such as Scientific American so that I can be informed about some of sciences most recent developments. I also enjoy reading biographies of great scientists to get a feel of what they did to get into their cutting-edge research. I am currently self-studying AP Chemistry and participating in the one science competition that my high school is involved in. To my great sadness, I can only get a feel of science through reading and through my few science classes, which were not designed for highly motivated students like myself. Neither of my parents are scientists and they are both reluctant to spend money so that I can enjoy more opportunities in pursuing my interest in science. Before I heard of any summer programs where I could intern or practice actual research, I could only take as many math courses as possible and ensure that my high school record was decent enough to grant me admission into a research university where I finally could have opportunities to actually work on actual scientific projects. Even though I always wanted to become a scientist, I had come to expect that I could never pursue any actual scientific opportunities until college. Forget the Intel Science Search Finalists, I would never get in the program without connections through my parents, I thought.</p>
<p>I was ecstatic upon hearing of the Nanobiotechnology Center High School Internship Program. I finally realized that I had an opportunity to practice actual scientific projects during my high school years. While I must admit that I have never heard about nanobiotechnology in much depth, I was well aware of the enormous potential of nanotechnology and the potential of merging biotechnology with nanotechnology. Furthermore, because the program does not impose a financial burden on my parents, they have no reason to prevent me from attending the Nanobiotechnology Center High School Internship Program. Even though I must honestly admit that astrophysics is my main scientific topic of interest, my main topic of interest can easily switch with actual experience in another field of study.</p>
<p>It is difficult to give an actual estimate of how much Ill learn in a program that I have never attended. However, I do realize that I may learn more about science than what Ive learned in my entire lifetime up to now. I hope to learn about</p>
<p>ohhh man the deadline is march first!!! i need to get on that
where do i get the app?</p>
<p>mines better because I incorporated Spiderman </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>cmon someone tell me where the app is...</p>
<p>Oh spydertennis</p>
<p>search Google.com for Cornell Nanobiotechnology for the app. Be sure to turn it ASAP!</p>
<p>im sorry but i still cant find it, if you could post a link or something?</p>
<p>I was in the nanobiotech program last year if anyone is still interested in info. Last year 84 people applied and 6 were chosen for internships. They ask for a transcript later on.</p>
<p>Only 6 people chosen? OMFG. At the picture shown on top, there were 7 students - none of them looked like an intructor or anything!</p>
<p>jesus christ someone tell me where the godforsaken app is!!!</p>
<p>The year before me there were 7. The smallest group I heard chosen was 4 (the first year of the program) and the largest was 7.</p>
<p>Should the letter be long? Is one page good?</p>
<p>Are you doing it again JJKitty?</p>
<p>I don't think mine was longer than a page.
I'm doing the NIH one this summer.</p>
<p>**** 6 or 7?? jjkitty could you plz post what stats u had at the time (classes and all)</p>
