r/OIST

From what I heard some applicants were contacted by PIs after a month telling them they got shortlisted.

Hi, I’ve been accepted for the OIST spring internship and am planning to join in May. I was wondering what the environment is like during summer, both academically and in terms of campus life, any insights or guidance from those who have participated in the program before would be really helpful :)

Hi everyone,

I applied for the Qubit and Spacetime Unit for a Research Internship. It’s been about 4 weeks since the deadline, and the OIST FAQ says the 1st screening results usually take 4-5 weeks.

Sorry there no interviews actually. We literally have to wait until mid June.

I am actually very anxious about this because I am about to graduate from my bachelor this june and I was rejeced by all school. So I will have nowhere to go if I cannot go to this internship

I’m currently a senior undergraduate student graduating this year. I’m a bit anxious because I feel being an undergrad might be a disadvantage compared to Master’s applicants, even though the FAQ says undergrads are welcome.

I have a co-authored paper published in JHEP, which I included as part of my "additional materials". Has anyone heard back for interviews yet? Does anyone know if they send out rejections and interview invites at the same time?

Good luck to everyone!
