<p>@ivy Are you out of state? Just wondering, since you mentioned you studied at BYU and that’s in Utah. That may increase/decrease your chances.</p>
<p>Oh and results come out officially on May 1st, although they may come out earlier if the cluster you applied to isn’t particularly competitive.</p>
<p>And the bioengineering and biofuel clusters are new this year to UCSD… don’t really know how you could determine whether they are competitive or not based on last year’s applications. :]</p>
<p>naw. i did the BYU online. i live in CA.</p>
<p>did anyone apply to uc davis young scholars program</p>
<p>Earliest you can get a letter is April 21st (so I’ve heard).</p>
<p>That means somebody might be getting a letter in less than 3 weeks!:] Lucky duck.</p>
<p>Any musicians competed in Southwestern Youth Music Festival? If I get into COSMOS, I can’t perform this year. Just another reason to anticipate that fateful email >_<</p>
<p>@vivng If someone read our posts without knowing what COSMOS is, they might think that we’re waiting for an execution notice or something LOL.</p>
<p>@missiris LOL. it definitely feels like it DD:</p>
<p>The bioengineering cluster is a semi-modified version of the molecular bio cluster…so I assume it will still be popular.</p>
<p>@IvyLeaguer Then last year 139 people applied to your similar cluster.
25/139 is the acceptance rate. Pretty competitive! :]</p>
<p>I wonder if all the decisions are already made, and they’re just not sending the letters to torture us XD</p>
<p>I’m just glad that I’m on Spring break…so when I come back from school, I just have to get through one-two weeks to find out :p</p>
<p>@nicolestarb Oh the torture. If they are doing that to us… D:</p>
<p>@afourally Lucky! My spring break starts this Friday.</p>
<p>let’s talk campuses! do you guys know any key differences besides the a/c mentioned before?</p>
<p>My application status and my cluster status now say “Under Review.” Anyone else have this? I’m scared haha</p>
<p>@cynnek Mine does too! D:
I don’t know whether to be relieved or worried. I’m worried. LOL.</p>
<p>“Under Review” sounds like a police interrogation.</p>
<p>What campus did you apply to?</p>
<p>@cynnek I applied to UC Davis. :]</p>
<p>“Under Review”</p>
<p>heeeere comes the rejection…</p>
<p>@KenLOL95 Stay positive… LOL there’s still like half a month left! :] :] :]</p>
<p>@fash123 If you look at the COSMOS websites for the specific campuses, there’s like a handbook. The UCSD one is pretty extensive.</p>
<p>Hi guys!
So I’m a freshman and my GPA is 3.89 (we’re not allowed to take weighted classes this year). I applied for the UC Santa Cruz for 1) Cluster 3: Under the Sea 2) Cluster 8 Marine Mammals & Oceanography 3) Cluster 7: Astronomy & Oceanography.
They seem relatively “easy” compared to the other clusters, but I haven’t taken Chemistry yet so a good portion of my options is already wiped out… -.- Still, they’re pretty competitive clusters from what I heard.
What are my chances? I don’t have anything planned out for the summer other than COSMOS and a couple small summer camps… What else can I do over the summer? I want to be ahead of my peers by next fall, in both extracurriculars and academics. Suggestions, please? (:</p>
