<p>Does anyone know if it’s okay if one of your recommendations is mailed separately? I just saw that they had to be included with your mailed application, but one of the people I asked lives far away so I couldn’t get one from him in an envelope
I really hope they do</p>
<p>I just submited my online application and noticed than mine was submission number 1513. I figure that since 50 people are accepted and the percent accepted is usualy about five, the usual number of applicants is about 1000. If 1513 people have already submited their applications, it may be even more difficult than usual to get in this year. After you submit your aplication, please post you application number so that we can keep track of how many people have applied this year. You can find your application number by going back to the main application page (after you have submited the application) and clicking view previus submissions, which is in barely visible font in a blue rectangle at the top of the page. Then click the option “veiw” and your application number will appear near the top of the page.</p>
<p>@dasdui; the wording that CEE uses is anyone that has “one year remaining before high school graduation” is eligible to apply.</p>
<p>@RSIuser; i’ve heard that 2500 people usually apply, so if we are only at 1513 now, thats pretty good. but im sure there will be several hundred applications coming in this week… i mean, who doesnt procrastinate?</p>
<p>So maybe the application number is assigned when you start the application (i.e. when you save your first draft). Makes sense because I just submitted and I got ~200.</p>
<p>That would be it. I had to start a new acount just before I submited my application because I couldn’t deselect my choices on the first one. But with that in consideration, there should be more submissions than actual applications.</p>
<p>smart thinking, thumbtack… mine was #101, submitted 5 minutes ago.
its also exciting to think that that could mean there are fewer than the 1513 that RSIuser got. Personally, I think that it will be easier to get into this year, simply because it looks like they changed the requirement from needing to be 16 to needing to be a junior, which will probably eliminate a number of the students that otherwise would have applied</p>
<p>Just submitted, 1531. I really hope that this is random and there aren’t actually this many… if so there’s no way I get in</p>
<p>EDIT: Also, has anyone been able to print out the main form? When I went back and "view"ed my previous submission, it looked really weird and out of order, and I’m not sure how to print it so it is understandable. I’m going to try with a different browser, I suppose.</p>
<p>EDIT 2: Tried it in Firefox (I’d been using Chrome). Still looks terrible, and the fields are completely out of order. I’m not sure what to do. What have you guys been doing to print it out?</p>
<p>Same problem as litotes. Probably should have printed it out before I submitted (when everything still looked like they were in the correct formatting) but now I guess I’ll just print it out and send it in. They’ll have the online copy anyway…</p>
<p>Has anyone else gotten it to format correctly after submitting? Doesn’t work on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Opera so its probably not just a rendering problem with the browser.</p>
