COSMOS 2020 Thread

@skaterboiiii 4.0 i believe

I just turned my submission in for UCSC Cluster 5 Game Design. Anyone else? Good luck to all!

I know this is late but please help! I submitted my application about 15 minutes ago and neither of my parents have been contacted with an email. I know I need to pay the fee if my application will be submitted, and I only have about two hours and twenty minutes left…

your parents should received emails right after you register cosmos account or after you input their email, that email have a link for them to login and finish payment, financial aid and e-signature. they won’t receive a separate email after you submit the applicaiton. (as in our case of UCDavis)

Did your parents pay the fee in COSMOS Parent Portal? There were just two steps for parents: 1) pay Application Fee $30 and Application Service Fee ($0.75), pay online or mail; 2) Financial Aid & Electronic Signature. After you submitted your application, the application status in the parent portal will change to “Completed”. As a parent, I didn’t receive any email from Cosmos after my daughter submitted her application just 10 minutes ago. But I did receive an email reminder from Cosmos a few days ago to remind me complete all the steps and sign.

@yousol
forgot to @ your name, good luck to you : -)

@hinokokyuu I applied to both cluster 2 and cluster 7 at UCI!

Anyone apply to UCSD 3 and 6?

@arctickitty Best of luck to you, then! (I applied to C2 as my first choice and C7 as my second)

@lilina i applied to cluster 6 at ucsd aswell!!

@Lilina and @nillawafers65 I applied to clusters 6 and 3 at ucsd too! Good luck to all of us!!

@TheRose21 Thanks for the details! I’m a very “chem” person (doing USNCO), so I think putting cluster 6 as the first choice was good for me. I’ll make sure to get a good project, thanks again!

does anyone know who reads the cosmos essay? if so, how does the whole admissions process work?

I believe the instructors at your selected cluster read them, although there may be others that do to.

did anyone apply to clusters 6 and 8 at UC Irvine??

@hinokokyuu I applied to 7 as my first choice! I’m pretty nervous as I heard bio related clusters are very competitive :slight_smile:

Hello - my kid applied this year and I got an email from COSMOS saying my parent portion was not completed because I had not submitted payment and that the deadline was extended to last night. Did anyone else receive this as well?
