Hey guys, When does the application for CSSI 2018 start?
I started this thread to connect with other applicants.
Is anyone else here planning to apply to CSSI ?
I’m planning on applying! The website says that the application opens in January, so I guess sometime then. Not sure of the exact date though.
I’m definitely going to apply! The application doesn’t open for another week or so.
Its open! The essays have changed though.
I’m applying, too! Does anyone know how selective the program is, especially for people overrepresented in technology like Indian/Asian males?
How’s everyone’s application going?
@Rojobot id say pretty selective since it targets minorities/low-income/first-gen
@jeffrandell Thanks!
anybody confused about the last prompt about the photo app?
Just submitted mine, did anyone get a confirmation email bc I didn’t
@treepanda I submitted mine and also didn’t get a confirmation email. I emailed the CSSI team, and they said I should’ve received an email confirmation and asked for my email to check what was wrong with my submission.
@JigglyPuffs123 I was confused as well, but I just approached it from a practical standpoint and wrote about what I’d do if I had that issue.
@Rojobot Did they ever resolve the issue?
They haven’t responded to my email yet, but I’m hoping they respond by tomorrow. Also, does anyone know when decisions will be released?
I see from last year’s thread they had to have recommendations. Do we?
You don’t send in any recommendations if you’re applying only for CSSI, but you may need to if you’re also applying for the Generation Google scholarship.
I just heard back from CSSI, and they said that receiving a “submitted” status on your CSSI application is confirmation of CSSI successfully receiving your app. Thus, no confirmation email is sent out (at least for CSSI only applicants) to people that have successfully submitted their apps for CSSI.
That’s good, I just received an email that said I started an application, but on the application status it’s submitted
Good luck to all applicants! Are there any other internationals applying here?
@filipiyes I am an international student!
