<p>just a little over a week, guys :D</p>
<p>The anticipation is KILLING me!</p>
<p>If I don't get into RSI, though, I have a really nice summer research project lined up with a guy at MSU and I'll do the HSHSP there. 9 weeks in a lab = no tan. Hooray for being a nerd!</p>
<p>the people who started this thread aren't posting anymore for some reason, except coriano.</p>
<p>RSI seems to be sending out letters early this year, guys. </p>
<p>I just got my acceptance letter today </p>
<p>(i wasn't expecting a reply from them for at least a week, so I nearly had a heart attack)</p>
<p>i'm having trouble breathing, i think. wow..</p>
<p>Oh, wow, congratulations topasz!!! I already checked my mail today, and there was nothing. What state do you live in?</p>
<p>congratulations topasz, that's awesome! maybe the rest of us should expect a letter sooner than march 31.</p>
<p>topaz, please confirm that you are not playing a mean joke on us?</p>
<p>thats awesoem though congrats.... where are you from?</p>
<p>WHOA! MAJOR CONGRATS!
I gotta be happy for whoever gets in</p>
<p>.. <pessimism> .. maybe they are just sending out acceptance letters now .. and we can expect rejections later ... :-( </pessimism></p>
<p>I kinda hope it gets here this weekend .. cause I'll be out of town .. so if I get in, my parents can let me know by phone .. if not, then I'll have the rest of the weekend trip to cheer me up (though my parents probably won't tell me if I don't .. last summer I got home and they were like "Oh yea, by the way, your grandma died 4 days ago" .. and I was like .."oh.. thanks for telling me". They didn't want to "ruin my experience").</p>
<p>On the other hand, today would have been even better probably .. oh well .. I'll find out soon enough .. </p>
<p>sadly, I still doubt that I'll get in.</p>
<p>Anyway, congrats topsaz. Where do you live (state-wise)? What all are you planning on researching? and for those of us who are obsessive and want to gauge chances, what are your grade/scores stats and research experience (if its not somewhere earlier in the thread)?</p>
<p>you sparked me to fly out the house to get the mail I had forgot outside when I was playing basketball</p>
<p>nadda
maybe tomorrow cause I am in NC, but this would be really really early</p>
<p>Topasz is not pulling your leg, folks...</p>
<p>Did you get something, too, CountingDown?</p>
<p>And congrats, Topasz!! That's awesome.</p>
<p>wow, congrats topasz! :)</p>
<p>hmmmm now I'm getting nervous. though i am over on the west coast so it'll probably take longer to hear from them... :(</p>
<p>anyway hi. i've actually never posted in this thread before, but haha, i'm just another nervous rsi applicant.</p>
<p>Uh oh ... I am quite scared now. >< I wonder what the USPS time lag is between the east and west coasts ... :(</p>
<p>But congrats topasz! At least now you're pretty much set for an awesome summer. :)</p>
<p>Yes, my son got a letter. Up to him as to when he's ready to share the contents. I <em>will</em> say that it was an excruciating 30 minutes between the time the mail arrived and I was able to reach him on his cell to get permission to open the envelope (he was staying after school for some activities).</p>
<p>Congrats to Topasz, and Countingdown (+ son)!</p>
<p>Where do you guys live? hopefully the truck didn't fly by my state</p>
<p>and do they send the rejection letters and the acceptance letters together?</p>
<p>aaah...this is so nerve-racking!!!</p>
<p>Whoa, you guys got your letters early! Congrats from all of us at TASP. =D</p>
<p>woaaah no way.... cool! good job guys! i don't want to check the mail now...</p>
<p>congrats, topasz & countingdown's son! you guys are amazing.</p>
<p>I'm in california, so i'll have to wait a little longer</p>
