<p>Whats the big deal with RSI?
And what exactly do u do there?
Im just wondering cause theres so many threads/posts about it...</p>
<p>RSI is probably THE most prestigious high school program in the sciences (with TASP being the most prestigious in the humanities) and it has like a 3% acceptance rate.</p>
<ol>
<li>Siemens Westinghouse Regional Finalist</li>
<li>2 Internships at Universities (not concurrently)-not really awards but eh</li>
<li>Some minor placings like 3rd and some special awards at the Regional science fair (central area of my state)</li>
</ol>
<p>If you get into RSI, it's 99.9% sure that your dream college will accept you.
RSI admission rate is 4% -->compare to Harvard's 10% -->this implies RSI is harder to get in than Harvard</p>
<p>Plus, the RSI pool is self-selective, so its probably even harsher than the numbers tell you.</p>
<p>"Neils Dreyer, an RSI student from Germany, is studying cryptosporidium parvum, a type of parasite, in geese. When asked about his work, he responded: I collect ****."</p>
<p>lmao</p>
<p>ya you gotta do the dirty work in biology. but hey that's real research. don't laugh at it. post-docs with PhD do it every day.</p>
<p>hahahahaha thats funny.</p>
<p>or u can get grad students to do it...</p>
<p>Wow are you serious, that hard to get in.
What are the requirements in terms of age and stuff</p>
<p>I think you have to be 16+ maybe.. but I know you have to be a Junior in HS.</p>
<p>You don't need to be 16. There was at least one 15 year old last year there.</p>
<p>woops. You need to have completed 3 years of high school, or the equivalent.</p>
<p>pleaese don't post anything irrelevant to the title;</p>
