@applesauce4716 mE!
Did anyone apply to UCI Cluster 7: BioEngineering Your Brain - Controlling the World With Brainwaves?
I am 3.90 UW and 4.42 W. One of my big ECs is with the Childrenās Hospital Los Angeles, a journal study that got published on PubMed about neuroscience. Do you think this will help me get in? Is this a new cluster to COSMOS and an easy one to get into?
@johnschmick1234 omg your ECs sound great! Thatās really awesome! Iād say that youāre most likely at an advantage in the STEM-related EC category compared to many applicants. 
@didibear21 Thanks! What cluster did you apply for? Also, do you know who exactly reviews the applications?
For my CASSID, I put in the wrong number so I emailed them to ask if they could please change it, and they havenāt responded. I checked my application and the number is still wrong. Is this a problem?
@applesauce4716 Iām sure itās fine. I would suggest calling them, not email.
Has anybody received any follow-up questions about their application from cosmos?
Did you receive any follow-up questions?
hi @johnschmick1234 i applied for that cluster too. im a sophomore but my extracurriculars are a lot less impressive than yours I talked about creating an app for neurological diseases and being part of a neuroscience organization outside of school
For everyone worried about not receiving a response, keep in mind that they are probably being flooded with a lot of emails and most of the admission officers are actually professors as well. Give them some time and I guarantee you that they will respond to your questions!
i havenāt
@holdmypencil123 I havenāt gotten follow-up questions about my app. Have you?
Yea, Iām a junior. I think that app idea is good because it shows you have passion for this. The journal study I did worked out perfectly for this cluster which is so coincidental. Also, is this cluster new to COSMOS? And do you know people who applied for the cluster?
@johnschmick1234 yes, i think that one is new this year
@johnschmick1234
yea this cluster is perfect for like what i want to major in college
I think itās a new cluster this year, but you are the first one I have seen applying to the cluster
Do you know anyone else that applied?
@6565656 no, I donāt know anyone else that has applied for this cluster
has anyone received acceptance letters yet from cosmos?
also what is the acceptance rate for bio cluster
if not many people apply for a cluster can they take it out
@6565656 highly unlikely that will happen, lots of people apply to cosmos each year
@6565656 if you want to read my personal statement, or anybody else, then you can message me
