<p>The essays that they ask us to write, are they supposed to be very formal, or should we write it so that they know our personality. Is it like a college application essay, or a more straight forward essay, where we get straight to the point? For people who have been accepted, what is your view?</p>
<p>And I have another question, for when you list out your SAT scores, AP scores, etc., do you have to put that in a paragraph form or can you put it in a table in Word?</p>
<p>J.Shi: It depends on which question you are answering. For the question concerning your research interests, a buddy buddy tone probably wouldn't fit in. RSI wants to see your personality through the paper, but always your potential as a research and one who can produce a paper at the end of the six weeks. </p>
<p>Predator: A table should be fine.</p>
<p>I got a 214 on the PSAT, but a 76 on the Math portion. My SAT score was 2330. Do I have any chance with these scores? They advise at least 220 on the PSAT but I got a higher SAT. So?</p>
<p>bump........................</p>
<p>im no RSI veteran, but I'm guessing if your SAT score is better, it doesn't matter what you got on the PSAT</p>
<p>For number 6 do you put just math and science APs?</p>
<p>Regarding Part II questions:</p>
<p>Q1. long range goals
Are they asking for educational goals (degrees), career goals (professions), or both? How specific or general should I be?</p>
<p>Q2. research interests
The instruction says "limit your responses to one or two paragraphs per question"
It doesn't look like that they want a very elaborated essay, does it? How long should it be for this question?</p>
<p>Do I need to discuss 3-5 questions for both of my choices or just the primary one?</p>
<p>If the answers are used to match mentors with students, then they will probably be read by the mentors in the fields as well as by the admission officers. Wouldn't you think?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
