MRC Clinical Sciences Centre summer studentshipHey everyone,
Not sure if this is the right area to post this but I thought I'd ask if anyone here is applying for this or has taken part previously. I've just sent off my application form and want to find some general opinions of the programme from previous participants (and ask some questions) and meet some potential fellow summer students!
Thanks! -

Re: MRC Clinical Sciences Centre summer studentshipI received an email, saying that they have only selected the first 300 applications, so I have been rejected. For those still in the game good luck, it looks like a fantastic opportunity.

Re: MRC Clinical Sciences Centre summer studentshipYep it's 300 applicants that they are planning to review, however I'm not sure how many they plan to take and it also depends on what choices applicants have picked, so that this into account.(Original post by blondie798)

Re: MRC Clinical Sciences Centre summer studentshipI think there's around 25 places. And I put Neurobiology, Gene Regulation and Genomics as my highest fields of research. Cell Biology, Imaging and Molecular Biology were my highest research methods. I've had a look at the labs they offer and to be honest they all look pretty amazing, it's really the experience i'm after anyway.(Original post by Nasher and Basher)
