2011 RSI Discussion

<p>yeah i don’t think so cause i over nighted too</p>

<p>ohhh. ahh is this nervewrecking or whhhut</p>

<p>All four of you probably got in</p>

<p>rejected from here and TASP…</p>

<p>i guess there’s always tomorrow night. as soon as i come home from school i’m checking my email/mail</p>

<p>rejected, email received at 2:26 pm…i’m from NY
good luck to all who have yet to receive an email!</p>

<p>I only wonder why they don’t just send all of the e-mail generated letters together…same day at least. Or at least send all of the rejections together. It’s confounding to me. Well, there’s always tomorrow ;)</p>

<p>Be sure to check your spam folder. My MIT transfer rejection letter went to the spam folder last year… guess gmail was telling me it was rubbish =p</p>

<p>@boredinschool: Nice, someone bit! and even called me rude to boot. My day is complete. I’ll try to meet you if you get in, though I probably won’t be around this summer… meh. But about my “being rude”: calling out a program for being “incredibly inefficient” in public when you hope to be accepted into it? Not the smoothest move.</p>

<p>@ veezbo: idk, for some reason good programs always seem to have a “record number of applicants” every year. Not even being cynical here–it’s actually a strange phenomenon. Maybe because I never notice when they <em>don’t</em> say that?</p>

<p>To all those rejected: I’m sorry, and I’m sure you were very qualified. But it’s ok–hold your head up, try to get a research project yourself if you’re really interested, and I’m sure you’ll be able to (with a bit of luck, which is always a factor in research!) succeed regardless.</p>

<p>Rejected in California. Congrats to those who got in!</p>

<p>i don’t think anyone got accepted yet, right?</p>

<p>Nobody on the CC boards has been accepted as of yet. It’s also strange that nobody that anyone of us knows outside the CC boards has been accepted yet either. It might be that they haven’t given out the acceptances to anyone.</p>

<p>i believe that acceptances are sent after rejections…that’s just my theory :/</p>

<p>It looks like between 15-20 (maybe 17ish?) rejections so far, and no acceptances. Maybe 5-7 people posting that they haven’t heard yet?</p>

<p>If you think about it, though, 2920 rejections out of 3000 applicants… it’s not surprising that we don’t know anyone whose been accepted. personally, i only know two other people who applied, and one won’t check her email. ._. There are about 20 of us, and even if each of us knew 10 people, that’s only 200.</p>

<p>… If that even made sense.</p>

<p>Rejection here, ah well.</p>

<p>Took me a while to find the e-mail, though. My brain looked for “RSI” as the sender, and didn’t even see “Research Science Institute” halfway through the subject line XD</p>

<p>This is pretty depressing. I’ll be applying next year, and after seeing many of the talented (and highly impatient!) people in this thread get rejected, I’ve almost lost hope. Let’s hope we start seeing some CCers get accepted.</p>

<p>I’ll still apply, but I’m not getting my hopes up.</p>

<p>rejected as well. a bit disappointed but not surprised/depressed. time to move on with other stuff in my life. AIME + ACS on Thursday and Math Day At the Beach on Saturday, good luck to anyone taking these tests.</p>

<p>I went back through and counted. We have 18 who have been rejected and 9 who have not heard. got2surf and lomeinaddict I could not tell whether you were rejected or still waiting or were just commenting on this.</p>

<p>Last year it seemed there were around 20 rejected and 8 actual cc members who got in (4 friends of members got in). Based on that I feel like we would of heard if acceptances were sent out.</p>

<p>Sorry to everyone who was rejected already. Last year I was rejected from both of the places I applied to so I know what it is like. However, I was able to find some last minute arrangements that turned out to be amazing.</p>

<p>A nerdy joke to raise us rejectees’ spirits: "Two scientists walk into a bar. The first one says, “I’ll have some H20,” and the second one says, “I’ll have some H2O, too.” They both drink, and the second one dies.</p>
