COSMOS 2013 Waiting

<p>Wow, your stats and ECs are great. You probably got wait listed because you were a freshman and they give priority to juniors, then sophomores, etc. I hope you get in this year. Your chances are definitely better since you are a sophomore now.</p>

<p>The wait has gone by pretty quickly, surprisingly. I’m a junior, but I have not applied to any summer programs before. My application status has been “Under Review” for a while, too.</p>

<p>I agree your EC’s are great! And same here it has been under review for the past couple of weeks. The waiting period has gone pretty fast but now that it is only like a week away it’s taking forever!</p>

<p>2 more days!
I applied to UCI because the website said that you could only apply to one campus and something told me that UCD was harder to get into (after looking around, I realized that I was right). I had no real reasoning in choosing a campus, though, besides purposefully not applying to Davis. I don’t live in CA, so they’re all pretty far away to me. I actually don’t remember the clusters I applied to, and I made the unwise choice to not print my online submission form. I believe I put genetics first, biomedical sciences second, and I’m not sure what was my third.</p>

<p>don’t decisions come out the 19th though?</p>

<p>That’s what I thought, but Irvine posted on their site that applicants would be notified on the 15th. Also, I found my essays in a Word document, and I did apply to the genes, genomes, and biocontrol as my first cluster and biomed sciences as my second. If we were given a third choice, though, I’m not sure. Either the one regarding rocketry or the astrophysics cluster.</p>

<p>huh…MasterLeaf is right. UCI webpage says April 15th. I wonder how this is gonna work lol.</p>

<p>Oh wow lucky to those who applied to Irvine. Good Luck hope you get into your first choice!</p>

<p>I just hope last year doesn’t repeat itself in the thread (2012 COSMOS waiting thread’s first handful of people to report their status all applied to Irvine and got rejected).</p>

<p>Just be positive and I’m sure you will get in!</p>

<p>I think Davis and Irvine are the most competitive campuses? I’m not sure, but its seems to be the case.</p>

<p><em>Snaps fingers</em> Whoops.
Whatever goes goes.</p>

<p>Davis is definitely the most competitive, I’ve heard that irvine is one of the least competitive campuses though…</p>

<p>Does COSMOS post stats after they send out acceptances/rejections? Like, they give the exact number of applicants per campus, cluster, etc? We can find out through that.</p>

<p>They have in the past, I’ve seen it on threads but I’m not sure where</p>

<p>Oh okay. Well, chances are, like it has always been for me and emails, I will keep wondering about when I’ll get the email, and then I’ll distract myself for hours and, oh hey, you have received an email!</p>

<p>Well good luck! :)</p>

<p>Same to you!</p>

<p>5 more days and I’m nervous lol. Pretty glad that I applied to UCI though, it’s supposed to be the least competitive school.</p>

<p>UCI is sending out a/r emails tomorrow, actually.</p>

<p>Oh wow! Good luck to all the UCI applicants. Anybody know if UCSD is releasing decisions early?</p>
