@Astraea1 Are you referring to today and tomorrow (the 22nd and 23rd) or next Thursday and Friday?
next Thursday/Friday. Waiting is hard but at least most of us should have a definitive answer
Hey you guys!! I applied too. Iām still waiting to hear back also.
just took the L
congrats to everyone who got in!
@8thgradekid what location and whose labs did u apply to
Sorry Iām late, but maybe it will still help someone out!
I am a (white, female) sophomore in college at University of Maine with a 3.85 GPA. I got As in all of my science classes except for physics, which I got a B+ in. I took the Genome Discovery class which is a pretty heavy bioinformatics class where we characterized a virus in the first semester and annotated its genome for the PhagesDB database in the second. I think that class worked in my favor. I had a letter of recommendation from my professor for that class, who is amazing and probably wrote something wonderful. My other letter of rec was from a journalism professor, which I hoped would round out my application and show that I was interested in areas other than science and a strong writer.
I donāt recall the names of the other labs I applied to off the top of my head, but I applied to the Dumont lab as a first choice and that is where I was accepted.
I also had a bit of an extenuating circumstance because I had to take a year out of school due to a cancer diagnosis, and I did write about this in my essays, so that may have impacted my acceptance.
Have rejections been sent out already?
@8thgradekid They started to send out rejection letters?
yep, got a rejection
lol i was rejected yesterday too but it was in my junk folder so i didnāt see it
Can you share who is the rejection from so I can do a search in my inbox as well
Congratulations MendelianHellion!
@8thgradekid @helllpppp can you share who the rejection letter was from? I donāt think I got one yet, but I want to make sure.
Congrats to everyone whoās gotten in so far! Iām sure youāre going to have an amazing summer 
I was rejected as well. Got it yesterday, but it showed up in my junk folder so I didnāt realize until today. The sender was just āThe Jackson Laboratory.ā Congrats to all who got inā¦Iām sure it will be a fantastic summer!
wait so were all the rejections sent out yesterday? or are they also sending those in batches?
I havenāt received anything 
nothing for me as well yet
I also have not received anything. Could they be sending rejections out alphabetically (my last name is later in the alphabet)? Or is it possible that there is a āwaitlistā of sorts?
@DarthPaper I donāt think so, my last name is very early in the alphabet & I still havenāt heard back yet
The Maine State Science Fair is this weekend at Bowdoin College. Jackson Laboratory is the organizer/coordinator of this event. That might slow things down. But also, there are only 34 places for this internship. JAX probably sends out 34 initial acceptances and waits to hear who can and canāt make it. Then if some students decline, the Lab sends out āreplacementā acceptances, and so on, until JAX has a complete cohort, after which JAX sends out their final batch of rejections. Thatās my guess.
