<p>^^^Yes, all together is best. I revealed a lot of my stats throughout the thread already. You can look at my chance thread otherwise - “First time chance, just curious” or something, I think it was called. And chance me while you’re at it! :P</p>
<p>^Try reducing font size or margin to get it to one page. I don’t think it really matters, but you never know.</p>
<p>Correction: The law Clark Scholar really did love her research! I just somehow misheard her or something. I guess we all occasionally complained about her research, like, you, know, when we actually had to do work, and she was no exception…so yeah, don’t hesitate to apply for law, or other not-science-or-math fields! It’s just a misconception that Clark Scholars is a math/science program.</p>
<p>(About doing work…do it early. Yeah. Don’t procrastinate. The sad thing about Clark Scholars is that it’s one of the only programs which gives opportunities for serious procrastination, although I hear TASPers are pretty bad. You’ll have enough to do at the end, with lit searches and papers and presentations and all that.)
(Sorry, law Clark Scholar person, if you’re watching this, for bringing attention to this again; I just feel that it’s important to be accurate.)</p>
<p>hey! i studied technology commercialization at clark scholars, and i noticed that somebody on this forum mentioned i didnt like it very much. heyyy no fair. i LOVED it. by FAR the most satisfying summer experience in my academic career yet. seriously --it was amazing.</p>
<p>clark scholars is NOT a science camp. i encourage you to consider research areas besides hardcore science. i worked with patent law, and it was really cool! my mentor was helpful, and he contacted his former professors so that i could sit-in and observe classes at the law school. </p>
<p>however, i don’t recommend that you try out a completely new area that you have never, ever been remotely interested in. the point of clark scholars is to expand your love/interest for a particular field. im not saying “Dont try new things,” but at the same time, you should have a basic understanding of the field you wish to research. furthermore, somebody mentioned that i had no background in law. WRONG. both my parents are lawyers, i worked with several election campaigns in California, and i am a certified income tax preparer. </p>
<p>i know the time to apply to clark scholars is approaching, and if you get accepted, GO GO GO! i can’t emphasize enough my love for this program!</p>
<p>if you have any questions about clark scholars that aren’t answered by this forum, pleeease contact lynda durham. she is the organizational mastermind behind clark scholars --simply put: she is incredibly helpful!</p>
<p>“cool?” haha oh you silly boy. theres nothing cooler than emerging technology, the next big thing, and meeting with excited inventors who get to play in their fancy labs all day --and invite you to come right in and join them. </p>
<p>YES, working in patent law, i was invited to several labs to experience new machines HANDS-ON. it was incredible i love science, and it was pretty cool that i was able to quench my thirst for law and science in one program. you do know that patent lawyers are all scientists and engineers first, right? you must obtain a bachelors degree in a field of technology that is approved by the us patent office. so thereeee. patent law was pretty frikkin cool.</p>
<p>Ms. Durham is also amazing with anything logistics-related. If you have any concerns about anything, not just research, you should email her. I’m not really sure of her and Dr. San Francisco’s roles exactly, but they run most of it, basically.</p>
<p>By the way, guys, she does get annoyed by people who do really stupid things (like me), so…don’t so really stupid things. It’s probably pretty difficult to get permanently on her bad side, though, as she is pretty nice. But, as they say on the first day, there are good Clark Scholars and bad Clark Scholars. That independence they give you has drawbacks.</p>
<p>i got too excited about defending my research area apply for areas in LAW, people! we’ll help the scientists sue when they get bitten by their reptiles… ;)</p>
<p>And we help save the earth so the lawyers in their soccer mom cars can keep driving around without worrying about killing everything in existence, including themselves.</p>
<p>And it’s not like most American lawyers really study Panamanian law much, eh? So I don’t know how much you could help with the suing.</p>
<p>heyycalifornia: How do you apply for patent law programs? I want to be an inventor/patent lawyer I even have 30+ inventions, please fill me in on these last-minute details!!!</p>
<p>She probably applied for law. She probably expressed her interest specifically in patent law. But since she’s been complaining so much lately about things certain people say, I probably shouldn’t say much more…</p>
<p>Hmmm, I sent her a PM. I think that actually would be a huge interest of mine over summer. Like this is seriosuly what I want to do w/ my life lol</p>
<p>And proletariat2, I simply desired to speak for myself concerning my experiences with Clark Scholars. It’s rather disconcerting to see other people make public posts about my experiences at Clark Scholars. I would never want to shed a negative light upon such a wonderful program. Clark Scholars was a fantastic opportunity, and I would be horrified if anybody believed I felt otherwise. No hard feelings, kayy :)</p>
<p>Hey is it ok if teachers send in their recs separately because my chem teacher insists on sending her recs separately from my application because apparently she does this with everybody’s recommendations…</p>
<p>I saw that this answer was sort of answered a few pages back, but is it absolutely REQUIRED to send everything in one package?
should i send them an email/note notifying them that one of my teacher’s recs will be sent separately?</p>
