Students will be assigned to a roundtable meeting based on geographic location. Meetings will be held between August 6 - 24, 2001. Vacations should not be scheduled during these weeks. Only one roundtable meeting is held within each geographical area. The selection is based on an assessment of the student's application, academic record and faculty recommendation forms.
Preference is given to students with superior academic standing.
Students will be notified of the results of the selection process by March 30, 2001. Laboratory Assignment Students who are selected into the program are sent a list of projects available in approved laboratories in California, Nevada and Utah, and are asked to choose five projects. Every effort is made to place students in one of their five laboratory choices. A personal interview with the laboratory supervisor is required. The only choices available in Nevada have been located in Reno.
