<p>Well, I am more interested in engineering than the science/math offered at RSI.</p>
<p>I hate to say it, but the prestige of RSI may just make me go there anyways. Besides, they have Comp Sci and Physics.</p>
<p>don't think that because you're an asian male, you can't get into sharp....it's not only for URMs; it's just that they make a point of trying to attract them.</p>
<p>wow, RSI. <em>drool</em></p>
<p>Hi guys!
I have been thinking about this a long time and it occured to me that maybe there are more spots than we originally had believed. The only numbers that MTSI has told us so far are; 1,460 applied, 25% are interviewed, and 80% of those interviewed are accepted. If there were twice as many spots available as last year (I'm really hopeful!) than the numbers wishful_thinker had provided would be pretty close to correct. If this is the case, than about 25% of us would be interviewed (about 365) and 80% of the 365 people would be accepted (about 292).</p>
<p>Wouldn't this be great news for all of us, if it came true?</p>
<p>hey what did you guys say for challenges you had to overcome?</p>
<p>just curious...</p>
<p>When I asked the guy who interviewed me who got in, he said that they were accepting 140 and the ratio of interviewers to acceptees was 2:1.</p>
<p>Meh. Did any commuters get any news yet? It seems like it's all residential people talking.</p>
<p>Thing is, my younger brother got accepted to SHARP but will not be 16 until August 19 2005.</p>
<p>They accidentally accepted him and he (being a bit of an idiot) applied for the heck of it.</p>
<p>You think that he can get in? What new rules will apply to him?</p>
<p>Wait he already got accepted? He got an acceptance letter?</p>
<p>no idea about your brother. i know htere'll be liability issues....</p>
<p>oh and my obstacle was really stupid - time managment. i had 7 APs this year, tennis team, and robotics -- where i stayed after almost every day in sept/oct/nov/dec/feb/march. sooo it WAS an issue because i have perfectionist issues....and yea. stupid wasn't it? it was impromptu...give me a break</p>
<p>liability?</p>
<p>The only obstacle is supposed to be the labor/payment issues...</p>
<p>okay then...i guess you're right...i wouldn't know...</p>
<p>bleh... reject for me (I'd like to blame it on my male-asian-ness, but I really can't)
I was residential. Just got the mail today. Good luck to all, and enjoy!
There were 1400 applications and took 140 (exactly 10 %)</p>
<p>Is the chance for commuter higher?</p>
<p>It seems logical.</p>
<p>it really depends on the area i guess (for commuter). i know in titusville, FL, NASA basically has open slots for peopel -- there's no competition at all. but i'm sure somewhere else there is more comptn...</p>
<p>Has anyone received a call today? Could the interviews be over?</p>
<p>no idea...it looks like i was the last one to be interviewed here on cc but i dunno if they've totally stopped interviewing...</p>
<p>I think interviews may be over...The guy seemed really urgent to finish them up.</p>
<p>i hope not.... do u kno if there was only one guy doing the interviews?</p>
<p>yeah i think it was just mr. strandquist</p>
<p>I've heard other people comment about being interviewed by a lady. I forget her name but I know the guy that interviewed me was Mr. Strandquist.</p>
