Research Science Institute (RSI) 2009

<p>I'm the only kid applying. I'm so doubtful right now. o_o Oh noes...
Just for the record, how does RSI look on college apps? Good?</p>

<p>Hah theres one other girl at my school applying.
Grrrh we both want it so badly.</p>

<p>@Megavortex, it looks fantastic on apps, although its not your ticket in. </p>

<p>@dashboard, lol stage seven is me too. And it totally is good practice for college! </p>

<p>I was Chemistry, Oceanic
Biochem, Exercise</p>

<p>Are there any other ecology people here? I can see it's not very popular.</p>

<p>Terrible.</p>

Mine were way shorter than that. Actually, they only really took up 2 pages. Is that bad?

<p>No, it's not bad if you said everything you needed to. Mine were a full three pages, but just barely so, and I didn't modify margins or font size at all.</p>

<p>2 applied from my school. i'm kinda hoping we both get in and i think we both have a legitimate shot but not getting my hopes up <em>too</em> high</p>

<p>Delete this post - duplicate</p>

<p>hmm i did math/number theory, comp sci/artificial intelligence</p>

<p>oh this is fun, i liked reading this earlier
wordcount
1- 533 words
2- 544 words
3- 550 words
4- 499 words
6- 218 words
7- 90 words
8- 51 words
9- 22 words</p>

<p>just over 2500 words (had to adjust margins, i wanted to fit 8 and 9 on my 3rd page and have a line between each question)</p>

<p>I probably overdid it
...3,500 words</p>

<p>oops. Whatever its on the way to Virginia now so nothing I can do!</p>

<p>2140 words. oh well. not getting in. I probably have like 1% chance.</p>

<p>MegaVortex, RSI looks so bad on college applications, they'd rather you spend $6000 on harvard summer school.</p>

<p>For the people from schools who had a lot of applicants, do you guys go to schools like Stuyvesant or Bronx Science?</p>

<p>don't a lot of applicants come from TJ?</p>

<p>I would think so. I'm the only one applying from my school (to my knowledge).</p>

<p>I could be wrong, but I think that my friend and I are the only two applicants that our school has ever had... and we're a great school.</p>

<p>Yup, my school has a had a few applicants but never an acceptance.</p>

<p>I guess everyone has turned in their forms already - good luck!</p>

<p>TJ typically gets around 2 people in on average. A lot apply.</p>

<p>do they by any chance send a confirmation email?</p>

<p>i sent mine on tuesday, and I checked that it arrived on wednesday (one night shipping)...</p>

<p>however, they still havent sent me an email...is that normal?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Oh, so it isn't like a "hook" ?</p>

<p>I remember on the application it said to include a blank pre-addressed, stamped postcard for them to send back to you if you wanted confirmation. So I don't think they send an email.</p>

<p>Congrats everyone; we are officially all done :) Onto stage 5...</p>
