<p>Hey guys I was named an RSI-Alternate (<em>tear</em>) and was wondering how often if ever does RSI take from the waitlist? I'm assuming close to never since its such a good program. They said they would notify us if we are accepted by mid-May does anyone know if they just dont call u if they didnt have space? Or do they call you regardless? thanks</p>
<p>Hm...I know of a girl from my state who was un-waitlisted recently, but other than that, I can't tell you much more. Perhaps the other Rickoids who hang around CC would be able to help you more than I can.</p>
<p>I don't think it's that often that you'll get of the waitlist, since most people, if given the chance, would want to go to RSI.</p>
<p>People got in off the waitlist this year.</p>
<p>yup. I am the girl that "chengs" is talking about I think.</p>
<p>well, we did have one guy decide not to go to rsi cuz of the international chemistry olympiad, and i dunno if it's a bit late, but they could fill his spot.</p>
<p>a guy from stuyvescent go in off the waitlist. I think they allowed people off the waitlist because there were less people this year due to an RSI in China.</p>
