COSMOS 2018

@APboy about how many people were in cluster ?? and is it hard to make friends with people outside of ur cluster

There were 24 kids. (12 guys and 12 girls.) and not at all!! I still, to this day, have a groupchat with my cosmos friends and we are all from different clusters!! Just make sure to get out of your room and interact with people! Man, if i didn’t, my COSMOS memories wouldn’t have occurred.

@goldenrelic I’m applying for the same one! Your EC’s seem strong but yeah, being an 8th grader might hurt your chances sadly. I’m also in FTC, what’s your team name?

ah did anyone else apply to ucsd ??

My child applied to UCSD. From the discussion here, less people apply to UCSD this year?

I always think COSMOS is not very hard to get in as a rising senior, because they give priority to upper grade students. Unfortunately, my friend’s daughter from the bay area was rejected last year. She is a very good student. So, it’s hard to predict.

which cluster?? i applied there as well!

i m a tad worried that my grades will ruin my chances but i hope my essays are good enough

@hoesph I applied to the ucsd synthetic bio cluster, #7. How about you?

@ltwixster i applied to cluster 3 living oceans and climate change! are u from the bay area?

I applied to UCSD cluster 4 and 10, i am also a rising senior

@hoesph Yep. I’m on the peninsula. How about you? I was really tempted to apply for that one but opted for the synthetic bio as my first choice and didn’t put down a second choice because we can only attend once so if I do go I want it to be my top choice, not an alternative.

Does anyone know how competitive UCI Cluster 5: Sound for virtual reality or Cluster 2: Reasoning About Luck are to get into? Or how many people are accepted into those clusters?

@ltwixster same ! i only want to go for my first pick so i didnt even bother with a second choice!! the cosmos thread was so long last year and this years is kinda small so im praying less people applied but i highly doubt it

Man, I’m freaking out! I really want to get in… If I don’t I’m planning on participating in a band program because I play bass. But I’d much rather go to COSMOS.
