Hi y’all,
I didn’t see a thread for ssrp this year so decided to start one!
Feel free to post questions about the application to discuss!
Anybody got an interview?
Guessing interviews will be offered in early March since applications are “confirmed” on March 1st and decisions are released in early April.
Does anyone have info on the residential life in terms of summer meal plans and dorm situation? It’s hard to find much on their website, and I’m preparing to talk to my parents about potentially spending a month and a half on the other side of the country if I do get an interview 
I read last year’s post and someone got an interview at the end of February
Anybody got interview？
Emails just went out this morning that the applications were under review and that 1250 people applied, so I’m sure it’ll be a little bit before anyone gets an interview 
Wait did u specifically get an email because you called/emailed or was it a mass email?
Didn’t you receive the email?
No I haven’t, can you show a pic? (Only if you want to ofc, cross out any unnecessary/personal details.) I just wanna know email they’re using and if they have my right one
Sorry, I registered this account just for my daughter.
Can’t post the image (and had to add a spaces to the url), but here’s what it said:
Thank you for your application to the 2024 Simons Summer Research Program at Stony Brook University. This confirms that we have received your application, and have begun our faculty review/selection process. You can expect to receive information about the status of your application in early April.

Did you have any message about interview?
Hi everyone,
I received an email today that I was 1 of x people being considered for x mentor and that I should set up an interview asap. Just thought I’d let everyone know that interview emails have started to go out.
It was a mass email that got sent out to all verified applicants. But at this point, I also received an email about setting up an interview. If you didn’t get the mass email, you might want to contact the admissions office to see if your application was received.
For Simons, does not getting an interview suggest that you have not moved onto the next stage of the decision process?
Oh, congratulations.
Can you share your first choice teacher’s name?
Thank you
I really don’t know. I wouldn’t worry yet though, it’s still very early, all interview emails probably haven’t gone out. If they had, more people would probably be on this thread saying they got one. Good luck !

I’m sorry, I just really don’t feel comfortable with doing that (why I labeled them “x”). Not to like accuse, but some internet people are weird and who knows what someone would do to like improve their chances if they knew I was in the running with them.
