Northwestern University, Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP)
Thank you for patiently waiting to receive an update regarding your SROP application. This cycle we received over 900 applications for SROP, so our process of making offers was extremely selective and extensive. We wanted to inform you that the selection committee has concluded our evaluation, matching, and invitations process and unfortunately, we will not be able to invite you to participate in the 2022 Summer Research Opportunity program (SROP) at Northwestern University. This decision may have been made due to a number of factors such as your specific research interests, number of spots per department and/or lack of an available faculty mentor for the summer. Due to the volume of applications received, we unfortunately are unable to provide individual feedback. We appreciate your understanding and interest and look forward to engaging with you in other ways.
Purdue University, Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP)
Hello - thank you for applying to the Purdue University Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP).

All offer letters to those individuals have gone out and our application review process is now complete for SROP 2022.
