<p>ok. well there’s another one that someone else made that works. go find it! it should say COSMOS UCI 2009 on Facebook!!</p>
<p>backup for what?</p>
<p>can we restart the thread because i am trying to get into ucsc for cosmos and i need peoples input.</p>
<p>Hey guys! So I did COSMOS at UC Davis last year, and it was definitely a great experience! I don’t think it’s that hard to get into as long as you have “decent” stats. Just have a good GPA, because you don’t have to submit SAT scores (I have never took the SAT or any AP’s when I was accepted). Just show that you’re genuinely interested in the program. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Does anyone know how competitive Molecular Biology Revolution at UCSD is? I have a 4.4 weighted, 4.0 unweighted, good recommendations (my AP stats teacher and honors bio teacher), and I haven’t written my essays yet, but I think they should be good. My main problem is I don’t really have any math/ science extra-curriculars… is that a major piece of the app? I have other ecs… but they don’t really have anything to do with math… thanks!</p>

<p>hope that helps mac</p>
<p>also go to the new 2010 cosmos thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/862532-cosmos.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/862532-cosmos.html</a></p>
<p>how good is COSMOS mathematics? I am in multivariable calculus honors; almost qualified for the aime (though my score does not reflect that), but the sample combinatorics problems they had up didn’t look too hard…</p>
<p>Hi! Im gong to apply for the Genomes cluster at UC Irvine this year.
I was wondering if you could tell me how much of a chance I have in getting in.
GPA unweighted: 3.8
GPA weighted: 4.16
I’m a sophomore and am currently taking Precalculus and AP Biology.
I am an intern at a local lagoon where I am conducting research on the correlation between compost age and plant growth.
I am also going to be working under the instruction of a professor at East Bay in his lab.</p>
<p>For extra curriculars I wasnt sure if I should list only math/science related…
