COSMOS 2020 Thread

@Jolly3 I believe it’s June 1st

Hello everyone, I am a COSMOS UC Davis Cluster 7 (2018) alum who is now a freshman in college. I totally forgot I had this account and I just realized some of you were asking about what the program is like and what the schedule is like. COSMOS was a great experience for me, and I truly hope you are able to experience it this summer! In the meantime, I can try to answer questions you may have about the COSMOS experience (particularly at UC Davis)!

I got accepted for UCSC and after filling out the acceptance packet, I sent it to the UCSC address. Today, I got an email from COSMOS that said to send the acceptance packets via email. Does anyone know if it was OK to mail the packet or should I just email it now?

@rmende I think it is possible that they are working remotely, and might not be regularly getting the mail. Did you copy it before you mailed it? If you have electronic versions I would email them. If you don’t, you could email them and let them know it is in the regular mail.

@divarose I did not copy it before mailing it so I downloaded the pdf and I’m filling them out and then will just email it with the attachments. Thank-you for the advice!

We e-mailed it to them. Are we supposed to send a copy in the regular mail also?

Any one in this group has got in to Cluster 10 at UCSC?

@Hopeithappens I don’t think we were supposed to mail it because they sent us an email this morning saying to email all documents to the COSMOS email. I mailed it accidentally because on a section of the website it said to mail it but it was probably old info. How did you type on the pdf?

We printed out all the forms and filled out all the information by hand and then scanned it and e-mailed them.

Oh OK we will try that thank you!

@emmadadilemma i applied to UCSC clusters 8 and 3

UCD COSMOS alumnus here. Make sure to try the omelettes at the cafeteria for breakfast. They’re pretty bomb.

@Fleurescent ariel omg hi!!! ahh ty!! r u going??

3.93 UW 4.25 W
recs were okay
ecs are okay
i think maybe my essays were interesting and “quirky”, maybe thats why. Also I’m a junior so they mightve given me priority.

Hi this might be a stupid question, but i can not find the acceptance/waiver packet we have mail in. Do you guys know where i can find it (the ucd one if the packets differ from campuses)

@emmadadilemma I believe the packets for UCD are on the parent’s portal for download. You download, print and fill in, then scan them back in and upload them. But I think only UCSC has the deadline for those this Friday. Davis is later, although it probably is a good idea to get stuff turned in sooner instead of waiting.

@divarose Thank you!

Hi all, where is the acceptance Packet? How do you find that?

@cosmosstudent it can be accessed through your parents’ portal

It sais to submit (electronically) the pdf for the acceptance packet. Do I have to mail it in as well?
