<p>Asain Male, Midwest
33 ACT
5.4 GPA Weighted (not sure what UW was)
Essay was good.</p>

<p>It was probably the lateness of my app that made me waitlisted. Should have applied earlier.</p>

22

<p>Did you get a response by mail or email?</p>

23

<p>Email</p>

24

<p>5.4 weighted? Do you mean 4.5? Also, do you think I have a chance? I submitted by app on 4/2/2012</p>

25

<p>oh whoa you have me worried. i sent in my app 4/2 too…</p>

26

<p>No our school does weighted gps differently, on 6 scald</p>

27

<p>Oh okay. Do you still think I have a chance?</p>

28

<p>haven’t heard from them yet. getting worried</p>

29

<p>Does this program only accept rising seniors ? How do you compare this program to RSI/CLARKS/Simons? Do students get to work on projects that are at the level of ISTS/Siemens?</p>

30

<p>When did you send the paperwork ?</p>

31

<p>wow… congrats</p>

32

<p>Congratulations Lacrossegirl123! What other programs are you waiting to hear from?
PS</p>

33

<p>I sent in my application on april 1 (the last day) for physics :/</p>

34

<p>Is there a limit as to how many people RISE accepts per school?</p>

35

<p>All of my application materials were received on April 3rd, does anyone know when we get a reply.</p>

36

<p>I’ve got a reply on april 4th, exactly one month after they said they’d processed my application…</p>

<p>I wouldn’t freak out though. It says on their website it could take between 4 and 8 weeks to get back to you after you send in your application.</p>

37

<p>Im wondering if people got their replies yet? I actually just got mine today, and while I didn’t get into the RISE program, they offered me a spot in their High School Honors Program… Does anyone have any feedback on it? Im not sure if its worth it or not because I haven’t heard much about it</p>

38

<p>I was waitlisted at first, but was just notified that I’m accepted! Hopefully I can attend this summer</p>
