Research Science Institute (RSI) 2010

<p>@ potentum: So if its Bio over and over again…I mean the application doesn’t have room to write three different completion dates. I guess the previous bio classes don’t really matter if you’ve taken AP Bio. If I were you I wouldn’t bother mentioning the other ones and I’d just fill in the information for AP Bio. </p>

<p>Clever MSN!</p>

<p>^sign (wow I kept typing sing like three times…time to snore!)</p>

<p>I know it’s a BIT late, but I was wondering
How do I send scores? I have my PSAT paper report, but I would like to also send my SAT 2 Math/Chem and my 1 AP Chem score (I go to an IB school btw).
Do I go to collegeboard and send them to MIT? Or am I supposed to get a paper report?
HELP!</p>

<p>Our thread is so lame compared to last year’s. :/</p>

<p>who cares?</p>

<p>and stop worrying about the 3-8 typo; if you download the form again you can see they fixed it to 3-7</p>

<p>^^ i agree this thread is supah boring
all chances and repeated questions</p>

<p>so…does anyone play sports? (and defy the CC stereotype?) :D</p>

<p>oh shizzles, completely forgot about AP scores! D=. oh well. </p>

<p>haha, unfortunately i don’t play sports. wish i did tho. but i can do like 2 ECs for every sport EC i would otherwise do. and i’m not good at sports anwyays so haha.</p>

<p>and i don’t think this thread is boring…</p>

<p>its a typical CC thread… </p>

<p>ppl worried bout chances (when their GPA/scores/ECs are 10x better than mine) :slight_smile: and all that</p>

<p>I play soccer and basketball, and I dance and cheerlead. I wonder how good sports looks to them?</p>

<p>I run cross country…
Which is pretty much the only other nerd sport out there except for tennis and marching band (which is not even a sport)…
Pshwhateva, its fun :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@mseesquared - I think you just write them in in the little spaces designated for those scores…</p>

<p>^ lol I play tennis :P</p>

<p>I really don’t think rsi cares about sports though. Note that this is kinda baseless, but logically, if you were looking for students gifted in math/science, you wouldn’t take sports into accound.</p>

<p>^ i’m somewhat hoping that at least RSI likes the well-rounded science genius better than the science genius. </p>

<p>(yes, we are all science geniuses) :)</p>

<p>lol if only. used to play tennis</p>

<p>what font size/font/margin guys? :P</p>

<p>I play piano. And I can juggle (although I wasn’t planning on mentioning that on my application) Does that count?</p>

<p>12 point, 0.9 top 0.75 left/right 0.65 bottom</p>

<p>I got a 80 on the Math section of the PSAT in 9th grade, but then I only got a 77 last year and a 75 this year, although this year was my best overall score. Any ideas on what to put?<br>
Maybe a stupid question, but are the essays supposed to be double spaced?</p>

<p>^ If you have enough space to double space the essay, that is amazing, and I’m sure would be easier on their eyes :slight_smile: However, its not required, mine most certainly isn’t.</p>

<p>I’m not too sure about the PSAT.</p>

<p>@greenbean- juggling = super awesome. I only wish I could juggle… I can juggle 2 things, but not more haha. How many things (what exactly, is juggled) can you juggle?
edit: “juggle” is starting to look funny…</p>

<p>yea…juggling, now we are a cool thread</p>

<p>i just noticed last year, a lot of kids on CC did not get into RSI, does this normally happen, </p>

<ol>
<li>When are you guys sending in your applications</li>
</ol>

<p>I will admit, juggling did not transform the thread, it merely took it off topic. </p>

<p>I would guess that the low acceptance rate contributes to the fact that many CC kids don’t make it- the majority don’t make it, so CC is not an exception. However, many CC kids have made it (more than 5% I think), which is also important to note. </p>

<p>and I’m sending in my apps as soon as my teachers will give me their recs (probably not until next week).</p>
