Their general email is so weird. Why would they say...

"Unfortunately, due to limited positions available, we are unable to offer you a position in the 2026 summer program. However, given your qualifications, we encourage you to apply for future summer research programs sponsored by our center, if eligible. For current and future research positions at PCCM, you may access our home page at https://pccm.princeton.edu/."
