Research Science Institute 2005

<p>Is anyone putting their 2005 AMC12 A scores on their app? it hasn't been "given official status," but i got +23,-0 (143) and i think it would help my chances if i listed it...</p>

<p>that would be a really stupid plan - you simply dont know what your amc score is now. how would you determine if you didnt make a bubbling mistake? that the machine didnt misread your test? its not your score if its not official.</p>

<p>isnt it too late already....app was due feb 1st</p>

<p>no, theres been an extension. read the back pages</p>

<p>@Random^4, I just asked mine to write me a *recommendation and told them I was applying to a science program at MIT over the summer.</p>

<p>I gave resumes to them since they asked.</p>

<p>ok thanks to both of you to replying! That really helps, thanks.</p>

<p>wow, you must have really nice teachers that they're doing this in less than a week. Mine just knew me so I hope they wrote good things! I sent mine express. It should get there friday
I wouldn't put a score unless it was official either...but we're taking B so mine is nonexistant!</p>

<p>so just checking one last time before i submit my app, is it okay that i have both my subfields under Computer Science?</p>

<p>yessir/ma'am</p>

<p>-edit-atleast i think it's okay.....</p>

<p>Most teachers return rec's in about 2-3 days.</p>

<p>Everyone is sending their app in the mail, right? There seems to be no way to submit it online; the online process simply outputs a page to be printed and mailed.</p>

<p>tetrahedr0n,
any idiot can fill in 25 (or 23...) bubbles correctly and reading bubbles isn't a very complex job for a machine. I think i'll mention it and explain that it isn't official on my app...yet it seems that an actual AMC12 score - albeit unofficial - would carry more weight than a mock amc12 score... mad props for choosing additive number theory though :-D</p>

<p>hehe tsr472, maybe im a little bitter because i sent in my application before the amc, but anyway, yeah, i think that makes sense, explaining it should work. but hey - people misbubble all the time! i know a person who scored an 150 on the amc a and then an 86 on the amc b because of bubbling issues 2 years back.</p>

<p>thanks - what did apply for tsr?</p>

<p>


My teachers are AWESOME... They were happy that I got it to them with more than a day to spare. lol. I have confidence in them, which is good b/c from what i can tell they (the recs) are REALLY important...</p>

<p>so...how much did you guys write?</p>

<p>i've got a paragraph for each of the questions/problems (like 10 lines each) and two really big ones for the EC part</p>

<p>single spaced of course</p>

<p>lol cool. well my teachers write them fast but they don't like to be panicked at the last minute. :) whatever I got them...and I think they're good...<em>sigh</em> mine was two and a third pages long or so</p>

<p>I gave my CS teacher the rec and he handed it back in about 2 hours....</p>

<p>lol cool...anyhoo now are we moving on to the stage where we wait together in agony? haha jk! let's be cheery!</p>

<p><em>agonize, agonize, agonize</em> hehe <em>^^</em></p>

<p>It's not due until the 9th... I have yet to send mine in (I do intend to).</p>
