COSMOS 2016!

@kattymiao i applied for biomedical too and mathematical modeling of biological systems

@sarahm317 to be honest, Biophysics is my real first choice, but I had to put it second since Biomed is first choice only… I also feel like my chances for Biomed are really low (I haven’t taken APBio) but Biophysics should be decent since I’ve taken AP Physics 1 and C. How about you?

@kattymiao I haven’t taken bio so you’re not alone (I needed to get physics and chem done first so I could take the IB HL 2 year bio course). I’m really nervous since a lot of people from my school are applying and we all have the exact same stats and extracurriculars, but I really hope this works out

weird…I’m applying to UCD COSMOS too…
Cluster 8: Chemistry of Life 1st choice
Cluster 9: Mathematical Modeling of Biological Systems 2nd choice

Transcript(s) and Confirmation Page should be marked as “Y” as of now. Both my transcript and confirmation page were sent on the 19th of February and they were received by COSMOS yesterday.

By the way, I applied to UCSC COSMOS (Cluster 7 - Astrophysics: From Dying Stars to Distant Galaxies as my first choice and Cluster 6 - Computer Networking and Robotics as my second choice).

@sharkshockey HI, I attended UCSD last year Cluster 8. Well, I don’t know if it is very competitive, I know that the most competitive clusters are 7 and 8. However, I didn’t notice anyone who wasn’t passionate about computers in that cluster which I am guessing you are not, so don’t worry too much about it I bet you will get in if you show your passion and interest in your essays.

I’m applying to UCSC video games design. What are my chances (%) of getting in as an 8th grader?

Hi guys, I applied for UCSD Cosmos for Cluster 3 (1st Choice) and Cluster 6 (2nd Choice). I am a current sophomore and I have a cumulative 3.76 (W) 3.71(UW) GPA. I am in AP Chinese, AS English, AS History, and also am in Pre-Calculus (My school took our all the honors classes). I am currently the treasure for my interact high school club, vice president for girl up club, head area representative for Rotary District 5150, and a specialty performer for my high schools dragon team. I wrote a hella passionate essay for my general essay (mainly talks about my interest for marine biology and biology) and did the same for my first and second choices. My brother, who got into the UCD Cosmos in 2013 said that my application essays were better than his. I really hope I get in and we find out results next week. Anyone know about my chances for getting in?

Hi, I applied for UCSD COSMOS Cluster 1 (1st choice) and Cluster 5. I am currently a freshman and I have a 4.00 (UW GPA) (IDK what my weighted one is). I am in AP Calc, and no other honors/AP classes (our school usually doesn’t let us take honors/AP classes). I qualified for USAJMO in 8th and 9th grade, and I volunteer at the local middle school twice every week to teach math competition topics. IDK about how my essay quality is, but I think it’s pretty good. I also know that one of my teacher recs is really good, but idk about the other one. How much will a USAJMO qualification help my application, and what are my chances for getting in?

Sorry, UCSC not UCSD for my above comment

@tree329 i’m not an alumnus or anything, but i think your ECs should guarantee your acceptance no doubt. plus if your brother got in and said your essays were better than his, im pretty sure ur in

has anyone applied to cluster 3 of 6 for uci??

or*

@bellefauna thanks! Im so nervous. Less than a week until we find out.

bump (see post 50 and 51)

Decisions will be sent this Friday, April 15, by 5 pm! Best of wishes to everyone applying; I hope you all get in!

Today is the day everyone! Good luck!
