<p>Does anybody hear about this before?</p>
<p>If you are a RSI qualifier last year, please tell me what do you think impress the admission officers the most on your application?</p>
<p>There is a huge thread on this in High School Life.</p>
<p>Basically, you need to have a very specific idea in mind of what you want to do, and have shown significant previous interest in science, and hope that the gods of luck smile on you because the admission rate is <em>very</em> low (more competitive than HYPMS et al.)</p>
