Thanks so much for this info, appreciate it.
@AVKT congrats to your daughter! this is the exact cluster my daughter just got rejected from. my dd is a junior. may i ask what you think got your daughter in, aside from grades? just wondering what the program was looking for amongst so many qualified applicants. thanks and i hope your dd has an amazing experience!
I m so sorry - not sure how I made an error or how to fix it. she got into Cluster 9, Music and Technology…
@AVKT ah, no worries. cluster 8 was “tissue engineering and regenerative medicine”. we were just trying to figure out what they were looking for aside from having perfect science and math grades, and some stem ec’s. hope your dd enjoys the music cluster! sounds like it will be wonderful!
My DD got in her first choice, UCD Cluster 10. sophomore

UCI Cluster 7
My son got accepted by both Cosmos and UCSB Summer research academies, any thoughts on which one is better?
RMP or SRA? RMP maybe better.
SRA, he is a freshman

I’ve heard that COSMOS is better and more well known. Also for some people, it increases their chances of getting into a UC.

RMP is better than Cosmos which is better than SRA

Congrats!
Unfortunately, we did not get accepted to UCSC (sophomore). Still waiting to hear from UCSB. For those who did not get in to Cosmos or UCSB, what other programs are you looking at?
I believe a lot of programs already had deadlines pass. Currently on the waitlist for two programs, one of them being COSMOS, and I’m looking into the program called “waiting for something to happen” 
. CC classes or a job might be a good idea if none if the programs pan out.
Hi, may I ask what extracurriculars other than STEAM grades you are in? Just curious about what they are looking for, as I also applied to UCI cluster 7.
