biochem4 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello, It's my first time to apply for paid summer research programs. I applied to a lab in early March and I got a response two days after my application (my stuff was being considered). I was told if there's an interest, I would be notified. It has been 3 weeks since my last contact with the lab and I haven't heard further decisions yet, can I already assume I'm not accepted? or I can just wait a little more for possible further response and also considering the global issue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubes868 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi Biochem4, Difficult to say why they haven't exactly replied yet. However, it's safe to assume that due to the pandemic, they could be working from home/with less staff. As far as I am aware most labs are shut down and no one knows when they will open up again. You can always send a follow up email if you don't hear from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_shine Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi there! Echoing on cubes868, some summer research programs have decided to cancel (https://ims.utoronto.ca/programs/summer-undergraduate/). I would suggest checking in with the program that you had applied to and see if they are still planning on running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
