Hi guys. I’m a junior right now and I’m looking to apply for COSMOS at UC Irvine. I was wondering if anybody knew what I am going to need to write about in the essays that I will need to turn in for my application. I know the registration hasn’t started yet but I want to get a head start on my essays since once school starts back up again, I feel like I am going to be swamped. Thanks in advance!
The cosmos essays (at least for UC Davis) are: an essay on why __ is your first choice cluster (250 words), an essay on why ___ is your second choice cluster (250 words), and (200-300 word) essay on EITHER what excites you most about math/science and why would you want to spend a month at COSMOS OR describe a project or experience you worked on that furthered your interest in a specific math/science topic.
^ same essays for UCI. Probably the same for all campuses. Best of luck, COSMOnaut aspirants!
I’m a freshman and I’m applying for the marine mammal biology clusters at UC…I have like no good extracurriculars and my teacher recommendation letters are probably going to be decent. Does anybody know if I write a really good essay, will I stand a chance in getting in? Thanks in advance.
Well actually, I did a science fair project in middle school but I didn’t win anything, and I also did math olympiad in middle school and won a silver pin.
