COSMOS 2020 Thread

UCI Cluster 6, rejected :frowning:
junior, in-state, 3.93 UW/4.4 W out of 4.0
essay: 7/10, not bad but generic
extracurriculars: 9/10, leadership position in multiple clubs, research at a UC, music stuff, 200+ volunteer hours
recommendations: 7/10 (bio), 9/10 (calc+TA)
my two friends (also juniors) had similar stats and are doing varsity sports but also got rejected lol it was probably our essays

@will3DS can you send me the invite link to discord? ty

What are the chances of a waitlist getting the call?

Hi! The discord invite isn’t working for me, is there any way to manually add me in the server?
@will3DS

@kp12345678910, which bio cluster did you get accepted to? If you got accepted to cluster 9, are you considering going, because I got waitlisted and am really passionate about going. If you are going, that great too!

@boisterouscloud You said that a lot of people you met at COSMOS were waitlisted in the beginning; about what percentage of the people at COSMOS were originally waitlisted? Thanks so much for the input : D

@acastleonacloud I won’t list an exact percentage here because I don’t want to give you bad information, especially since admissions vary from year to year. I know there were at least three of us in my cluster (21 in total), a couple more in another cluster (forgot which one). I have a school friend from a third cluster, I might ask them about their cluster. The number was definitely more than I expected, given my previous experiences with waitlists. Can’t say for certain about the other clusters since I didn’t know too many people from those.

Accepted UCI Cluster 2!

New discord link, last one expired.

Added spaces because you can’t post links.

@boisterouscloud thank you!!!

You are so lucky! I got waitlisted for Cluster 2. If I may, what were your stats?

@nillawafers65
OMG I was about to respond to your previous comment where you said you thought you weren’t going to get in rolling eyes emoji Well, CONGRATS!!! You’re going to have the time of your life :smiley: I’m so jealous that you’ll get to spend a month of your life in the biofuel cluster- I loved my experience.

@charviahoy I got waitlisted for uci cluster 7 please lmk if you decide not to go. also what were your stats like?

@TheRose21 haha thanks!! I’m super excited!

@MythicArcher I was accepted to cluster 9. I am considering going however I am waiting on another decision. If i decide not to, hope fully the spot goes to you!

@will3DS Ah! sorry i forgot to check this thread and the link expired again. Is there a way to send another invite link?

did anyone get into UCSD autonomous robotics cluster? I’m on waitlist :frowning:

I’ve been waitlisted at UCSD for clusters 2 and 4

Will COSMOS happen in current conditions? Is there a chance some clusters may transition to online instead of in campus living?

Stanford moved all summer programs in a revised manner to online only. I was wondering the same thing, I hope they at least keep it by moving online and not cancel it completely, if there is a no campus rule. At the same time, Davis is mostly unaffected, numbers are low, LA is worst hit as of now. But no one knows what could happen…So sad for all the kids (including mine) who are in high school and this is their last chance.
