COSMOS 2020 Thread

@emmadadilemma I just electronically uploaded the scanned pdf, for UCD I dont believe u have to mail it in as well.

I think we should be fine if we only submit it electronically because they are probably working remotely.

@koalasareextinct Thank you so much!

@bayareacl hi, i got waitlisted but didn’t receive an email about a survey… what did it say? and do u know if everyone who was on the waitlist got the email?

@khobbib I think it was only select campuses that sent out a waitlist survey

@khobbib @koalasareextinct let’s hope they do something soon… the 4/10 accept/decline deadline for accepted students has passed…

Any updates?

Hi,

Does anyone know anything regarding the status of whether cosmos will go online/canceled due to covid-19? They haven’t said anything regarding it so far afaik but I doubt they’re gonig to run residentially if almost every other camp is being canceled.

It’s either canceled or will be online

There’s no way it’s gonna happen residentially

Does anyone know when they’re going to start admitting people from the waitlist?

They said they’d start notifying April 17th about waitlist I believe. They are still collecting transcripts and deposits, and Santa Cruz states that We fully expect the COSMOS program to take place this July! . They have also said they won’t do the program online so it will either go or be cancelled. They own the dorms so they can wait a few more weeks before making a final decision. Our tuition balance is due May 8 so it will definitely be by then… I think it might actually happen. California is in a better place than many locations right now.

I think that the email said AFTER april 17th, so i think it’ll probably be the monday after. that’s how it was last year i believe

Just got email COSMOS is cancelled :frowning:

yup cosmos is cancelled this year at all schools :frowning:

just got the email, it is cancelled

I got accepted this year, and I’m so sad it’s canceled. I’ve wanted to apply ever since I discovered this program last year. I understand they are just doing what is best and the safest. I’m a junior this year, so this was my last year to apply. Life goes on and I hope everybody is safe!

i’m so pissed bc i was waitlisted and now i’ll never know if i would’ve actually gotten in:// was looking forward to this all summer so i’m super bummed :frowning:

it is very unfortunate and will hurt college apps for sure, COSMOS should have offered it online…

Awww I’m so sorry everyone.
But, something to keep in mind is that COSMOS, while prestigious, is NOT a ticket to the UC’s. Yes, there are kids that end up at Harvard and UCLA, but it’s not like they weren’t going to end up there anyways. COSMOS is the most fun experience ever, but you are not missing out on too much college application wise.
Stay safe!
