<p>To whom exactly do I address this letter?
the Board of Trustees? This...Joann P. DiGennaro? CEE?</p>
<p>ahhh!...I'm supposed to be writing a DBQ and all I can think about is this stupid "Alternate" thing....so close...yet still so far....</p>
<p>Thanks, sangoire.</p>
<p>To all who haven't received their letters, good luck!
and hope everyone's backup plans work out.. I wish we all coulda made it.</p>
<p>Boris was the only Rickoid to be accepted as a sophomore in recent memory...I think he was legendary 02? But I'm not sure about that. He went on to do extremely, extremely well in Intel and SW. </p>
<p>Wait, it's your second-to-last year of HS but you're not graduating next year? How does that work? I'm curious.</p>
<p>Anyone know the address we have to mail the letters to?
It says mail it to the RSI. Is that the same thing as CEE, somehow I doubt it. If anyone knows the address please tell me.</p>
<p>I assume the same place as where we sent the application - which would be CEE - the return address.
But...but... who do we write it to?</p>
<p>Rejected. I'm not surprised, because nobody ever expects to get accepted, and my essays sucked.</p>
<p>I have a friend who got 232.5. Personally, I got 182.5 because I made a whole bunch of stupid mistakes on the AIME.</p>
<p>accepted!! I am so amazed. Also rejected from SHARP in the same day. I opened the SHARP envelope first, saw that I was rejected, lost all hope for RSI, and found that I actually was accepted...wow</p>
<p>yay go zogoto. i'm so glad you are in. you worked so hard for it. at first i didn't want to say anything because i didn't want to get your hope up and have it plummet, but secretly, i was hoping you would get in :)</p>
<p>"It says mail it to the RSI. Is that the same thing as CEE, somehow I doubt it. "
ya same address.</p>
<p>Haha screw SHARP what the hell do they know?
We're RSI 2005, the creme de la creme... the new guard, the geniuses of our generation...</p>
<p>Rejected, but for some reason it hasn't completely hit me yet. But the amazing thing is, it put some fire under me to work that much harder on chem.</p>
<p>So, unsubscribed; I may or may not keep up with the thread. Good luck, everyone -- Nghi started this thread in November, and we've stuck together the whole way through all of the tension, gotten into the occasional row, but I love you all!! You're all brilliant!</p>
<p></p>
<p>for the admitted, i think we should know each other on a first name basis because we'll all see each other hopefully in the summer, if not in the future in cambridge.</p>
<p>sydertennis - there are a lot of people here who would probably resent that comment. Seriously, being accepted to RSI does not validate a status as "the creme de la creme" nor does being rejected invalidate it. That was slightly superficial and rather inconsiderate, don't you think?</p>
<p><this is="" the="" worst="" feeling="" ever="" -="" worse="" than="" being="" rejected=""></this></p>
<p>I cannot believe this . . . I GOT IN! I saw the small envelope and I wasn't surprised, just resigned. And I had to read it 10 times before it sunk in.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone else, I can't wait to meet you this summer!</p>
<p>Spyder, you should really not be so cocky. I personally do not find it offensive, but I think others will, and there is nothing to say that some deserving people didn't get rejected.</p>
<p>question from a waitlisted friend - about how many people are on the waitlist?</p>
<p>static, i know you're amazing at your own field, but my field is MATH, and i can definitely judge math projects.</p>
<p>But again, RSI is an amazing program! good luck to you static! reading your posts on this here forum, wow. youre one of those people i can just kinda tell are gonna go far in life.</p>
<p>waitlist ~ 5, I believe</p>
<p>First (have I mentioned this already? ah well) congrats to the other acceptees, condolences to the rejectees, and general empathy to the waitlisted. (The last situation seems the hardest to deal with, as perhaps only those on the waitlist would agree ^^. I personally was hoping to be rejected rather than waitlisted, if there were any wavering between the two.)</p>
<p>I agree with LadyinRed about your comments, spydertennis, not to seem too harsh. Personally <em>I</em> am not the creme de la creme, although I don't know about you. Not to say that I <em>shouldn't</em> have gotten in, but there are so many talented high school students with different strengths (cliched but true) that there are a lot of qualified and brilliant students rejected. RSI is an amazing opportunity, but not one anyone <em>needs</em>. (And in any event, calling oneself a genius sounds like just begging for Farside-style humiliation - "middle school for the gifted, push to open" ring a bell?)</p>
<p>sangoire: <<wait, it's="" your="" second-to-last="" year="" of="" hs="" but="" you're="" not="" graduating="" next="" year?="" how="" does="" that="" work?="" i'm="" curious.="">></wait,></p>
<p>Er, I'm "leaving early" (yes, the moral equivalent of dropping out). I was going to graduate early, but I'd have to take extra English, and that's not really one of my priorities. And to answer most people's next question, yes, some colleges (for example, Caltech, MIT, and Princeton) will consider apps from students who have only completed three years of high school.</p>
<p>flierdeke,
wasn't it Midvale School for the Gifted? lol
tonnnnns of inside jokes about that haha</p>
<p>"for the admitted, i think we should know each other on a first name basis because we'll all see each other hopefully in the summer, if not in the future in cambridge."
That sounds like a good idea...should someone start a thread?</p>
<p>er... perhaps midvale. "middle" makes sense though :)</p>
<p>And now that I think of it, it was probably "pull," too.</p>
