Hey everyone! I know the application will not be out for a little while, but I was curious to see who else was applying. Good luck to all of us!

Do you know if you have to submit a PSAT score or is it alright to just submit an SAT score?
Hi do you think it would be okay if I’m not taking AP Calc in 11th grade, just Honors Precalc and will most likely take AP Calc BC in 12th grade…competition seems intense
Applications are now open!!!
Good luck to everyone who’s applying! I’m applying too and I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll get in.
Good luck - it is a very competitive program (I think around 2-3% acceptance rate, plus limited acceptances per state).
Hey, does anyone know the concentrations we can choose from?
Does anyone know how you report your PSAT score on the RSI application? Do you just write your score in the box, or do you have to attach your official score report? I was just wondering because I don’t think the official score reports are released until sometime in January, which would be kind of late if one wanted to get an early start on submitting the application.
How much do the essays play a role in acceptance? (I know this is all guesstimation, but I’d just like to get an idea).
Hello!! I have another question…
For our research field choices, are we allowed to include interdisciplinary sub-fields such as biostatistics in the field of mathematics? Or should I just stick with “statistics” in “mathematics”?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I just submitted my application this morning! I’m really nervous but I really hope I get in. 
Good luck to everyone else who’s applying!
@yuiichiiros How long were your essays? I feel like mine are too short… 
@fruitlover My first and third essays both really hit the character limit, but my others were shorter. #2 was around 4000 characters, and #4 and #5 were about half of their respective character limits. I also wrote a lot for the essay under Computer Skills because I have a lot of programming experience and my first choice for my research field was computer science–I definitely struggled keeping this one under the character count. I feel like I may have talked too much in my essays, but I had them all proofread before I submitted them so maybe they’re good. Honestly though, don’t worry about them being too short! Quality over quantity.
