how competitive are summer research schools?

Hello all,

just wanted to ask how competitive are the summer research schools to get into, where once accepted they pay for your stay, and food. They also comprise of lectures and projects that people work on as groups. An example of these summer schools are the dynamic brain summer school at Washington University in St. Louis, or the Cold spring harbor schools, or the center for brains, minds and machines summer schools.

 

Thank you in advance

This really varies from school to school. The best thing to do is to ask each school if they can tell you how many people typically apply and how many spots are available.
