Ok cool! do you have prior research experience?

cs - computer vision
do all of you have research experience? I don’t have any research so i’m kinda worried… do you know if anyone has ever been accepted without research?
I’m sure olympiad winners do get accepted without research. I have about 3 months of research experience but I haven’t accomplished much or had publications so I’m a bit worried too.
There are some great posts on Quora from Rickoids that suggest that prior research experience, awards certainly help but are not necessary if the applicant is otherwise deemed as “high potential” via other parts of the application (LOR, essays). Not much helpful but it appears that, much like selective colleges, RSI looks to “round the class”.
My kid has three years of research experience, but I don’t think it is absolutely necessary for acceptance. It’s just another data point in holistic admissions. I agree with capecoder that the admissions committee is looking for indicators of high potential which can demonstrated in other parts of the application.

Hope to meet yall there!
Good luck! Which olympiad did you get bronze in?
Does anyone know when decisions will be released? I looked through past threads here and elsewhere and the decision release dates have varied from late February to late March.
Expected by pi day (3/14), although can probably range from like last week of February (I hope!) to 3/20
