UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Academy 2020

Hello! Who else applied?

I applied! Results come out by the end of March, I believe

What did you put as your top two sites?

My first was immunotherapy. I didnt talk about my second.

did you guys get accepted?? I did but it sucks we can’t do it till next summer :frowning:

@Yami417 they didn’t accept or reject anyone yet, so?

really? in my email it told me they would love to have me be there 2021 and for right now they would try to figure out alternative things for this summer, I got into the YES program I believe

well what did your email say?

@Yami417 that they are interested in having an online program, and they did mention the YES program and asked me to fill out a questionnaire.
I heard from one of the directors individually that they have no made any decisions yet.

what the heck, do you think I should email and ask? I thought they would have made decisions already

@Yami417 i don’t believe they are sure whether or not an alternative online program will be possible. If they do decide to do it, they won’t be accepting the same amount of people as usual. I think they are waiting to see how many students they are able to accept now.

that makes sense, it sucks though tbh

Seems like we got different emails…mine doesn’t mention anything about the YES program. Or maybe I’m just blind…

@Penguin2232 My email didn’t seem to mention anything about the YES program either

do you guys want to compare emails?

Has anyone received and update on the program? I haven’t heard anything since the survey email and I have been checking daily.

I just got my acceptance letter today!

Did they send it to you in the mail or by email? Congrats by the way.

did you get the email we’ve all gotten or a different email? I know they sent the survey for the virtual thing, but I have not gotten anything else.

Yeah same here. The last thing that I received was the survey around mid-April. Just a little confused as to what the next steps are.
