Hey, I am from UC Berkeley. I wonder if anyone here has applied to perimeter institute's 2015 summer program. I've applied but haven't heard back from them yet. I wonder if anybody here has got a reply.
So do you think I should still wait for a reply or should I just find another program instead? And you got in right? Congratulationstarquinius said:Hi, I got a reply on Thursday.

I applied for mathematical physics as my first choicetarquinius said:Yes, I got accepted, although I am still waiting for the precise details of my project (should be GR). I've been told it's a highly oversubscribed programme (~100 applicants) and only a handful of places. I suppose you will hear from them soon-ish, as they apparently have waiting lists for individual projects they must get through. Good luck! (btw, what kind of project did you apply to?)

The Perimeter Institute 2015 summer undergraduate program is a research program for undergraduate students interested in physics and theoretical physics. It is held at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and provides students with the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects under the guidance of experienced scientists and researchers.
Undergraduate students from all over the world with a strong interest in physics and theoretical physics are eligible to apply for the Perimeter Institute 2015 summer undergraduate program. Applicants must have completed at least two years of undergraduate studies and have a strong academic record in physics and mathematics.
The program runs for 10 weeks, from late May to early August. During this time, students will engage in research projects, attend lectures and seminars, and participate in various social and networking events.
No, the program is not paid. However, students will receive a stipend to cover their living expenses during the 10-week program. Housing arrangements will also be provided for students who do not live in the Waterloo area.
Interested students can apply online through the Perimeter Institute's website. The application process typically consists of submitting an application form, academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. The deadline for applications is usually in early February.
