RSI 2016

Congratulations to all that got accepted. Can you please mind sharing your profile and what you think made the difference.

Rejected - but congrats to everyone who got in!!! Have an awesome time at RSI, go make some epic scientific advances :smiley:

Rejected from GA

Rejected but I’m actually not upset since I get to go to a different camp. Congrats to all who were accepted!

Accepted from Florida! Congrats to all others who got accepted, and good luck to everyone else with other summer programs and science/engineering endeavors! :slight_smile:

Congrats everyone!!!

@Piarater99 There is already a group.
Edit: Never mind facebook links do not paste on College Confidential. Just type in RSI 2016, and there should a group with approximately twelve people in it.

@liveonlife Ah alright, I found it. Thanks!

when will the list of all the 2016 Rickoids come out?

Wow congrats everyone! Rejected :frowning: But going to Simons so it’s ok!! Yes, it would be helpful if accepted applicants can tell us what they think made the difference.

I’d presume it’s coming out after mid-May, which is the deadline for accepted campers to accept or decline the offer (also when alternates are notified about their status.)

Accepted campers have to reply by yesterday.

Has anyone been added to the Facebook group/requested to be added yet?

Also, what’d you guys put as research fields? Do they typically match you with your top field?

Hi! I haven’t heard anything about the Facebook group yet. Do you know if it is student-created or made by CEE? As for my research fields, I selected both variations of biology. I’ve been searching online, but like you I can’t seem to find how accurate they are with matching you to your field. Does anyone else know?

@snowtucs the group has been up. Did you search RSI 2016? It’s a closed group but you can find it with search.

Sorry, I was just checking out the RSI forum. I am going to MIT Launch, but I was curious why everyone who is accepted says their state. Is only one student per state accepted?

@collegecraze72 pretty much, yea… except in some competitive states, like nj & cali, they might accept two or three

May I know what’s the latest SAT that RSI would accept? January?

@tigerdragon I would say December is the latest because the applications are due at the end of January, and the scores are self-reported. You won’t get your scores back in time. In my opinion, don’t worry too much about test scores. They are only a baseline. Your essays and scientific achievements will help you much more.
