RSI 2016

Or maybe they meant 300, 360, and 150 words? (Just felt like 10 times as much.)

oh yeah i meant characters

My school official got an email from Ms. Maite Ballestero confirming they received my documents

So does our school get the confirmation email, or do we?

What fields of study did you choose on your application? Chemistry and physics here.

Comp. bio and chemical engineering FTW!

this has been a hectic application cycle, but i know every single one of you are extremely talented and wonderful human beings! if you get in or not, what’s important is that we keep on loving and exploring the science topics that make us giddy and happy. good luck to everyone!!

@mischiefmaker well said :slight_smile: are you applying anywhere else?

Which state are you guys from? (VA represent!)

@OneMata low-key trying to check out the competition :wink: jk, I’m from Ohio

@picats3141 Haha, I actually accidentally posted something on this thread meant for the Jackson Lab Thread so needed to come up with something smooth for the edit. :)>-

@foreverprongs i haven’t applied to any other summer programs yet, but i’m eyeing some haha. originally, i planned to apply to tasp, but then i realized i would much rather be doing research with my summer :slight_smile:

@OneMata Oh gotcha XD I would’ve applied for Jackson too, but I’m not really interested in genetics research

@picats3141 Which fields did you select for RSI? Depending on your answer, I know a couple of cool programs that might suit your interests.

@OneMata Astrophysics and CS

So notification date is late February, according to the packet? That seems abnormally early.

@OneMata I’m from VA too! What region??

Has anyone ever heard of someone doing an economics or English project at RSI? Those subjects were not listed as options on the application yet the description of last year’s program includes those two subject areas!

Actually the description says “humanities” not English!

I would assume since it’s research Science institute “humanities” would indicate economics or maybe anthropology or even linguistics idk
