The Perimeter Institute's 2015 Summer Undergraduate Program is highly competitive, with approximately 100 applicants vying for a limited number of spots. Accepted candidates are awaiting project details, with some projects expected to focus on gravitational research (GR). The program maintains waiting lists for individual projects, indicating a rigorous selection process. Prospective applicants should remain patient for responses, as acceptance notifications are ongoing.
PREREQUISITESUndergraduate students in physics, particularly those interested in mathematical physics and competitive summer research programs, will benefit from this discussion.
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?)
