[scikit-learn] GSoC 2017

[Jacob Schreiber]

Less than 11 hours left in the application period! If you've asked for
feedback and we haven't gotten back to you, make sure you submit anyway. If
you don't get your submission in before the deadline (April 3rd, 9:00am
PST) we won't be able to consider you.
