Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is there an application fee?

There is no fee to apply to or participate in this program.

How many students will be accepted into the program?

The 2022 and 2023 Summer Internship cohort consisted of 20 high school student interns, and we expect similar numbers for the 2024 cohort. 

Do you accept applications after the March 31 deadline?

We receive a high volume of applications during the application period and are not accepting any additional applications past the deadline.

Are international students able to participate?

Due to the overwhelming number of applications we receive, the 2024 program will be geared towards students residing in the US. We invite international students to participate in our year-round NextGen webinar series. 

Can students include letters of recommendation in their application? 

Letters of recommendation are not a requirement to complete the application and therefore may not be considered during the selection process.

Why do I get an error message when trying to access the application link?

You are likely logged into a Google account from an organization that does not allow you to share files outside of your organization. Please double check this setting and if the problem persists, try submitting from a non-restricted account.

I do not have a background in computer science or coding but am interested in the internship. Can I still apply?

For the Summer 2024 Internship program, we have a strong preference towards students with a strong computer science, math, and/or biology background. Students with little to no coding experience are encouraged to explore the Summer AI Bootcamp.

What is the difference between the Summer Research Internship and Summer AI Bootcamp?

The Summer Research Internship geared towards students with strong technical skills and is more project-focused, as students are tasked with solving a practical problem in the AI in medicine space with little guidance. The Summer AI Bootcamp is geared towards learners of all levels who are interested in learning about the fundamentals of machine learning in healthcare, and will be more lecture- and discussion-focused. 

Can I apply for both the Summer Research Internship and Summer AI Bootcamp?

Yes, you may apply for both. If you apply for the Summer Research Internship, you may indicate at the end of the application that you would like to also be considered for the Summer AI Bootcamp, with no an additional application required. Students who apply to the AI Bootcamp this way will be considered equivalent to those who applied to just the Summer AI Bootcamp. If you are only applying for the Summer AI Bootcamp, the Summer AI Bootcamp application is required. 

Are the AP courses listed in the application required for this internship? What if I am enrolled in the course but haven't taken the course/exam yet? Do you accept IB courses?

The AP courses listed in the application are not required for the internship. If you have plans to complete the course/exam or have taken/plans to take a related non-AP course (through IB, community college programs, etc.), there is a section of the application titled "Other Academic Experiences" where you may indicate this.

What can interns expect in terms of continuous engagement with Stanford researchers and faculty after the internship program concludes (for ex. publishing research findings in academic journals, poster presentations, etc.)?

We cannot guarantee continuous engagement after the internship at this time. The internship project is small in scale and would likely not be sufficient to constitute a publication.

Will participating in the internship guarantee a Letter of Recommendation for my college applications?

Letters of Recommendation for college applications/future programs from Stanford AIMI Faculty/Staff are not guaranteed, and may depend on a variety of factors such as intern participation, performance, engagement, and quality of work. Participating in the Summer Research Internship will not guarantee admission into a Stanford undergraduate program. 

Are AIMI Summer Programs credit-bearing?

Participation in AIMI Summer Programs is not credit-bearing, meaning that completion of either programs will not directly contribute towards fulfilling academic requirements or earning course credits toward graduation. Instead, it serves as an enrichment opportunity aimed at fostering additional skills and experiences outside the traditional academic curriculum.

Shadow Program (for High School students)

Applications for the 2024 ifss program are now open, 2024 program dates : monday, june 17th - friday, june 28th, 9 am-12 pm, m-f, inspiring future scientists through shadowing (ifss).

Hosted each summer, the focus of the Inspiring Future Scientists Through Shadowing (IFSS) program is to provide rising high school juniors and seniors who are at least 16 years of age by the start of the program (no exceptions can be made to the age cut-off) with the opportunity to learn more about cutting-edge chemical research. Throughout the two-week program, participants will observe and converse with a number of different graduate students in the chemistry department. There are many different types of research, therefore shadowing a couple of different researchers will allow you the chance to learn broadly about a wide array of scientific topics and techniques.

Unlike programs that emphasize individual research projects, IFSS stands out by allowing participants to shadow multiple researchers. This approach enables a broader understanding of the field and fosters a well-rounded scientific perspective.

While conducting your own research project is undoubtedly valuable (and we applaud that enthusiasm!), IFSS focuses on the rich experience of shadowing professionals and gaining exposure to diverse research endeavors. If your goal is to embark on a specific research project, we encourage you to explore other summer programs tailored to that objective.

Join us for two weeks of inspiration, discovery, and interaction with the scientific community. Apply to IFSS to learn more about the world of possibilities in chemical research!

Eligibility
