Hey! I recently applied to my first internship at GMU’s ASSIP (Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program). I’m a high school sophomore, so I don’t know what to expect…
I chose the following mentors: Amira Roess, Alessandra Luchini, and Fatah Kashanchi.
I’d love to hear if anyone else applied to the program and hopefully update each other about acceptances, share stats, etc. under this thread!!
guys I’m really scared 
I applied as well for ASSIP but for Computer Science. The mentors I chose were Fei Li, Bo Han.
Applied as a junior for the same mentors lol
Did you get accepted last year if you applied?
Did not apply to ASSIP last year but I did do COSMOS and was also accepted to UCSB RMP.
Congrats for last year. I am worried for this internship as well since it is extremely competitive for the topic I want to research for.
This is my first year applying… I’m not very confident that I’ll be accepted this year
Yeah I also heard they heavily favor applicants from around the area/state compared to out of state applicants, so I’m not sure about my chances either.
Can you share why did you choose COSMOS over RMP? I have heard that RMP is more selective (although much more expensive)
Ultimately it came down to the tuition. I was able to attend COSMOS for basically half off the original tuition while RMP basically gave me no financial aid lol. Also the cluster I attended at COSMOS was pretty selective (around 6% I believe?).
Hi! I applied to ASSIP Chemistry. I’m really scared too…
There is discord server for assip.
Oh, great!
could you please add me on discord and send me an updated link there goldrail2016
btw goldrail2016 is my discord
Anyone has experience with the remote option (eg., computer projects). Is there a lot of engagement with students or activities besides research? Are the projects guided by the professors or grad students? Appreciate any info related to the remote option. Thanks
I applied for CS as well. I chose Brittany Johnson-Matthews, Jessica Lin, and Lishan Yang. Did you get any responses from the mentors you applied to yet?
Hey could you resend the discord link please? Also has anyone gotten any offers yet?
Anyone has suggestions re: JHU Aspire intern vs GMU Assip? Which one is better?
Hi all.
I created a discord server that is designed for accepted applicants to discuss ASSIP 2024! However, we also accept prospective applicants, alumni, and past applicants :).
Add me on discord for the link! name: wulnat
