@jialo2003 I didn’t have to send them in actually
@akdoxmi Congratulations!
The fans are definitely necessary (the first few days were 95 degrees and it actually felt like burning)
I can also help answer questions alongside @thejmarie 
@Mignonette thanks so much!
@akdoxmi i was wondering where you sent in the essays? Also how did you apply - I saw online that they will start reviewing applications in early January???
@frgiven you submit them through your application portal. The deadline is 2/15/19, but the sooner you finish the better because it’s rolling. Since it’s rolling, there is no starting point for review- they address each application as they come.
@akdoxmi did you apply to SAMS or AP/EA?
@frgiven SAMS
@akdoxmi how did you upload your essays? it says upload it to the “student portal upload tool” but I am not sure where that is 
@akdoxmi hi I am noticing that some people like you are receiving acceptances from SAMS early but I read somewhere on the website that rolling decisions begins January 3, 2019? Do you mind giving me some clarification with this #-o
Yeah I saw the same thing on the website

I re-read the SAMS 2018 thread and saw that we have to upload our transcripts but I cant find where to do it. 
Can anyone help? Also I am not taking any APs at the moment because I’ve only been in the state for 3 months… I have done IB in my previous school but counsellor wanted me to complete the grade 9 courses so here i am stuck with geometry as a 10th grader. I know my chances are really slim, but I still want to give it a try.
Anyone here is applying for AI4ALL? My S is thinking about applying but he hates to write 4 essays.
I was accepted on 12/17
I forgot to mention- if anyone who gets accepted wants me to pm them my socials so we can get aquainted before meeting over the summer, I’m okay with that! Just shoot me a pm and I’ll get back to you :)>-
@akdoxmi Have you already told the SAMS people that you are committed to participating? Do you know when you have to notify them by?
@TheMadScientistX yes I have. I can’t see the commitment page since I already submitted it (I can only see that they received it), but I believe there’s a suggested date to respond by in there. Does that help?

I’m in the middle of doing my essays do they care if you write in an informal tone/style or do you have to write in a formal one used in like research papers.
