<p>Can Clark even be compared to RSI, or is RSI in a league of its own?</p>
<p>I think they’re structured somewhat differently, but Clark’s “prestige” factor is certainly close to that of RSI.</p>
<p>Gaaahhhh I hate waiting. I’m applying to some local internships/research opportunities in the meantime.</p>
<p>@browndbaternerd I have to make at least one reference per week to Born This Way. I mean, how can you not?</p>
<p>The list… :O</p>
<p>@karaoke… Can’t argue there. But it’s becoming a problem for me when I start referencing Friday…</p>
<p>Hot **** that list is ridiculous… I don’t think I know that many people who got into those types of schools period, let alone all in one place (then again, that might be because I go to a public school where everyone goes to the state university system…)</p>
<p>Any idea how much the app rate went up? i’m dieing to know</p>
<p>They received (per [this](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1052104-clark-scholars-2011-a-28.html]this[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1052104-clark-scholars-2011-a-28.html)</a>) 240 applications this year, 30% more than last year.</p>
<p>i haven’t got anything, but friend also applying got a rejection letter today.
i think that would be the first wave. keep your ears open! =D</p>
<p>the next two week is gonna be march madness replay =__= (april madness? lol)</p>
<p>This and HSHSP at the same time? Great…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did not need to see that.</p>
<p>Now I’m freaking out again …</p>
<p>did they get it by email or post?</p>
<p>So is that by mail or email? I recall Ms. Durham saying that she would be sending rejections via email and that acceptees would hear from Dr. San Francisco via phone.</p>
<p>batfan, I think you’re right. Didn’t they do semifinalist emails last year too?</p>
<p>i think it was by e-mail.</p>
<p>phone? what if no one picks up? i’m notoriously good at forgetting where i put my cellphone (and not picking them up) =_______= everything by e-mail would be much nicer IMO.</p>
<p>Rejection letters! My application wasn’t too strong but I’m still nervous now. Maybe it would help if I never check my email. :P</p>
<p>Good luck you guys, I hope we don’t get “shot down” with ejection emails.</p>
<p>I find it weird that only one person we know of was rejected so far. Brings back (awful) memories of waiting for rsi.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>Hmm, it IS a bit strange that only one person has been rejected so far, like ender94 said. Maybe we’re all just super qualified. 
I thought Ms. Durham also said that we won’t hear anything until the end of April though?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have a feeling that they might be doing it in waves this year. I think there were about ~17 applicants from CC. Maybe we all made semi? <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>@browndbaternerd - No news is good news, I hope! Ms. Durham said there would be cuts, so maybe they are doing waves this year. Is there an official acceptance date? I couldn’t find one on their website.</p>
<p>I looked back and saw we had a list of 19 applicants on here. However I do not know how many are active right now.</p>
<p>I agree, no news is good news. But do not get your hopes up too high. RSI similarly sent out their rejects first and as I did not get an email I was excited. Not until 2 days later (after some letters had been received by accepted people) did they bother sending me an email about me being rejected (if you did not notice I am still very bitter about this). I only say this to make sure other people do not go through a similar disappointment.</p>
