<p>^ hmm my science teacher was deadset on my not sending an update..I guess yea it wouldn't hurt though</p>
<p>i'm so nervous...my chances I think are the worst of all you guys........ :( :(</p>
<p>hey, i know! let's create a fictional rsi applicant who has worse odds than any of us! it'll make us all feel better. So here's how it works: everyone post one more criteria for said applicant: must be worse than your respective stat. Also, we need a name/life story/etc. </p>
<p>550 Math sat 1</p>
<p>380 sat ii math level 2
1.7 GPA (uw and w are the same)
haven't taken chem and or physics in high school, got a d in biology.</p>
<p>no science/math ecs.</p>
<p>Does not have David in their name.</p>
<p>has committed a felony.</p>
<p>Has very weak abdominal muscles. :P</p>
<p>Writes angsty poetry regularly, and used one of the poems as the essay for question #2 on the application.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if hearing from RSI on the 21st last year was an anomaly? Is it usually closer to the 31st?</p>
<p>Around the 31st appears to be more normal. Last year was the 22nd, 06 was the 30th and 05 was the 28th, I believe.
(I'm named David...hopefully that gets me in)</p>
<p>supported the kansas school board in their noble quest to put ID in the bio curriculum</p>
<p>heading back to china now... xD missing RSI results... i'd be checking out the forum there, and see how many of you got in! xD (thus increasing anticipation index)</p>
<p>Okay, so let's review the stats for our fictional applicant. He/she got only 550on the Math section of the SAT I, and a 380 on SAT II Math Level 2. His/her GPA is 1.7, with no weighted courses, and the candidate has taken no science other than basic biology, which he/she almost failed. The candidate has never participated in science or math extracurriculars, is definitively not named David, has committed a felony, and is physically unfit for the propagation of his/her genes. Furthermore, the candidate turned in poorly written poetry instead of an essay and supported putting intelligent design in the Kansas biology curriculum.</p>
<p>Despite all of this, if he or she can demonstrate a great "passion for science," his/her odds could still be better than ours. :P At least, according to the CEE people.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the 21st.</p>
<p>Happy Iranian New Year, everyone!</p>
<p>Less than 10 days until results! But I gave up on any chance of getting in right after I sent in my application, so no pressure.</p>
<p>the crap applicant has a 3.0 uw gpa, and a 2.0 weighted gpa</p>
<p>i think its the chocolate bar i just ate...but im incredibly nervous</p>
<p>"aide shomah mobarak!"
Happy Naw-Ruz!</p>
<p>(now, wouldn't an acceptance to rsi be a great gift?)</p>
<p>the hypothetical but probably true "crap" applicant snorts drugs, and left a packet of coke inside when he sealed the envelope to RSI</p>
<p>I don't think the decisions will come early this year. When I contacted them, they said that decisions are not finalized yet.</p>
<p>It would be a pretty awesome gift. 1500 of those gifts (for everyone) would be even more awesome.</p>
<p>Did anyone else try to balance an egg? Although I'm sure most people would have been asleep at the exact time it happened.</p>
<p>no, but the orange moved</p>
