COSMOS 2019

What is the acceptance rate for people on the waitlist? It seems as if lots of waitlist people got in from this forum ( @ultraphoenix , @tessersat , @oilerhb , etc.), but I don’t know for sure. Or is it just that a lot of people on this forum got in, and in real life, it’s a low acceptance rate? Thanks in advance for the help!

At least in my experience, having straight As in 8th grade should be treated more like a prereq to apply than an accomplishment. Especially for eight graders, extra curriculars and essays matter a lot

@BeHappy777 lol you should def apply. i got rejected last year haah but it was probably cuz i only realized cosmos was a thing 2 weeks before the deadline and i had no extraiccirulars. GOOD LUCK BRO

COSMOS 2019 is now a memory. The thread is now being populated with posts that are really more appropriate for the 2020 thread, so I’m closing this.
