Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
261

Accepted! :))

4.4 W GPA
ECs: nonprofit founder, science research (national and international titles), and some writing awards
Essays: did like 3 the day of/night before, thought they were personal and really showed who i am as a person
LORs: didn’t think they were too too good lol; one from bio teacher and one from mentor

congrats to everyone else that got in! if you didn’t, remember that rsi is just one aspect of your application; I know plenty of people who didn’t get into rsi and got into ivies/stanford.

good luck to everyone on the rest of your summer apps; i wish you all the best, and im sure you guys are going to do great things in life :slight_smile:

Is there a wait-list? Does the email have to specifically say wait-list for you to be on a wait-list?

265

RSI Will have a Facebook group for accepted students. They will send you the link.

266

Never been on College Confidential before so I don’t really know how this forum works but accepted! :slight_smile:

267

rip nothing suprising congrats to everyone!

My son did not receive any email till now. He applied in International category as we are not US Citizens.

271

Accepted from VA, I definitely don’t have as much research and have lower stats than most of the others on this thread.

ACT: 35, Chem: 800, GPA: 4.2 weighted.

I think my letters of rec and essays are probably what got me in.

272

Did anyone who applied in International category receive an email?

273

Accepted from Mississippi, no previous research experience, applied for math (Commutative Algebra) and Physics (e&m)

ACT: 36, Math 2: 800, GPA: 4.0 UW, PSAT: 1500

Basically no awards besides a few in 8th grade, EC’s but no competitions won at the time of application

Definitely the essays and LOR got me in

274

Congrats to everyone that got in! I was selected as an Alternate so it’s not a total rejection…anyone know how many alternates are selected? And if anyone ever moves up?

275

I haven’t gotten an email yet…

276

Rejected. Kind of expected it though.

Congratulations to everyone who got in! I’m super happy for all of you.

277

Did you get it yet? I haven’t got one either.

278

@compilergeek Hey that’s so cool! I am from VA as well but was unfortunately chosen as an alternate. Idk…I just put like all of my research experiences and awards down (winning 3rd place Grand Award at ISEF and representing the USA delegation at the Taiwan International Science Fair). My stats were qualifiable for RSI but were also not as high as the rest. im just so sad lmao. I really wanted to participate in RSI 2020 but I guess this wasn’t it. Have fun though and congrats :)!

Did any international applicant get an email yet? I’m international and have not received an email.
