<p>rejected....damn</p>
<p>umm i got accepted as an alternate? i was actually really stunned, because my essays were crap. i forgot about RSI and ended up writing my app on the day before it was due/basically the day it was due, since i had to postmark it. my recs must've been amazing.</p>
<p>anyway, off to send them a letter. =)</p>
<p>my teacher didn't show me the letters. i tried holding it up to a bright light to see if the letters would bleed through. i saw a lot of "very very very."</p>
<p>nothing here in Wisconsin either. can't wait till tomorrow.</p>
<p>I was rejected, too... oh well. (I live in CT, and it came in the mail today.) I'll spend the summer at NIH and hopefully have a great experience.</p>
<p>Congrats to those who've got in!</p>
<p>Rejected... <em>sigh</em>.... West Coast.</p>
<p>hmm.. i live in ohio.. lol, not that far...</p>
<p>yeah, what IS his first choice? must be pretty good :P</p>
<p>rejected, east coast</p>
<p>last year a student pulled out due to the chemistry olympiads. It's uncommon but happens. One year, two students didn't go to RSI, and that was enough to cause concern for CEE.</p>
<p>No letter for me yet... :( Hopefully it will come tomorrow.</p>
<p>Congrats to those who got in though! :)</p>
<p>Rejected. </p>
<p>As odd as it may seem, I was pretty happy. I don't think my passion is scientific/mathematical research, and I'm glad it came through in my application. </p>
<p>I have more time to search for my passion this summer (and for the rest of my life). :]</p>
<p>A decision made by a board of trustees who had read your application shouldn't determine what your passion is.</p>
<p>It would never determine my passion. What I meant was, if I was accepted, I definitely would have attended it. I don't think I would have had much time this summer to explore different things. I love biochemistry, nonetheless, but I'm not in love with it. I hope to find that which I am in love with. With more time comes more contemplation</p>
<p>Rejected. :( BTW I'm on the west coast.</p>
<p>Hopefully I can get into my backup program; I'd probably still have a great time there doing research.</p>
<p>Congrats to those who got accepted! I guess I can't meet you cool/amazing people this summer, but maybe some other time in the future ... :)</p>
<p>::Proceeds to drift away from this thread::</p>
<p>i'm worried if CEE got my application, cuz i didn't include a postcard. i totally missed that part. ahh~ i want my letter : (</p>
<p>Thank you for the people who responded to my question about
my son's acceptance. He will respond to the acceptance this weekend
and pull out if necessary.</p>
<p>With my son's permission, I can tell you - he would prefer to go to Black MOP. RSI fits in well with his long term goals, but MOP fits in well with his short term goals.</p>
<p>not in
decision came yesterday while I was in Atlanta on a college visist</p>
<p>it was a good experience though</p>
<p>yeah it was, it helped me sort out all my credentials and stuff lol</p>
<p>which i shall use to apply for my next program :P</p>
<p>I'm in.... wonder who I'll be studying with.</p>
<p>Look forward to meeting all of you.</p>
<p>not in. darn</p>
<p>Rejected, so I'm off to MSU for 9 weeks of research with an MIT PhD instead... not too shady of a back-up. Congrats to all who got in, and I'm sure I'll meet you in college! Enjoy RSI for the rest of us.</p>
