Hi, has anyone applied to Perimeter Institute 2016 Undergraduate summer program? I just wonder how competitive this program is.
The Perimeter Institute Undergraduate summer program 2016 is a research-based program for undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in theoretical physics. It is a 10-week program where students get the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects under the guidance of leading physicists.
The program is open to undergraduate students who have completed at least two years of their undergraduate degree in a related field, such as physics, mathematics, or engineering. International students are also eligible to apply.
The program offers a wide range of research projects in various areas of theoretical physics, including quantum gravity, cosmology, particle physics, and quantum information. Students can choose the project that aligns with their interests and skills.
Students are selected based on their academic achievements, research experience, and letters of recommendation. The selection process is competitive, and only a limited number of students are accepted each year.
Participating in the program provides students with hands-on research experience, exposure to advanced topics in theoretical physics, and the opportunity to network with leading scientists in the field. Additionally, students receive a stipend, housing, and travel expenses for the duration of the program.
