@tigerdragon @Golfer100 I don’t think that we are allowed to update on scores at this point. They are in the middle of reading through applications and it is quite possible that they have already read through yours. IMO I don’t think that a few points on test scores should make that big of a difference as they approach the application holistically. But if you think that it would make a significant difference, I would ask Ms. Ballestero
@tigerdragon At the risk of sounding too elitist, if your score was not a 2400 or at least better by 150-200 points I would say do not inform Ms. Ballestero. At this point, anything less will seem like clawing at minor points. I would honestly say that you are probably fine right now.
Guys they have sent out e-mails.
Did u guys get your decision yet? I got rejected
Does anyone know whether these emails are real or not? It seems kind of early considering it’s only February and decisions are typically released in early to mid March. . .
Im pretty sure they are legit considering that the email address they sent it from is legit.
On a side note, I was accepted from NorCal.
Has anyone gotten in from Missouri?
Rejected from NJ - really bummed (well, who else isn’t)
@BioEpic That’s awesome, congrats!! Would your willing to share some of your stats or some reasons you think you were accepted?
Thanks @spiciestflour
I’m not sure how much stats help here, but I think the important factor for me was pursuing what I loved (bioengineering) as far as I could and I had conducted a significant amount of research and several projects (with international medals) in this area. Other than that, I had decent stats and I attend a competitive public high school.

Hey @BioEpic ! Congrats on getting into RSI, that’s honestly incredible. I was just wondering what sorts of bioengineering projects you did and what international medals you won. Also, were there any other clubs or activities that you highlighted on your application? Thanks!
My clubs were mostly science oriented activities.
Is there anyone else on this thread that was accepted?
Alternate from NorCal… too close man :((
I’m also an alternate . Is anyone else?
I’m an alternate. Do you know how many are selected as alternates and how many make it to the participating list after that?
Is there a facebook group out there?
You must successfully complete an RSI session before being able to join the official Facebook group. If you are referring to an unofficial one, beats me. @BioEpic
I am an alternate as well. What are the chances of being accepted as an alternate?
