<p>How much of a boost does RSI give applicants? How do people get into that (I know they apply, but what makes 1 kid stand out in those apps)? It seems like it is just as selective as college admissions (based on the people that participate in it). I had never heard of it. Too bad, I guess.</p>

<p>actually, RSI is more selective than college admissions, by far. 5% admit rate.</p>

3

<p>Still, there are some RSI kids who get deferred and eventually waitlisted at Harvard...</p>

4

<p>yea but an 70% acceptance rate is a tad better than the general admit rate</p>

5

<p>that is true. however my point was that it's certainly not a guarantee of anything, although I myself don't understand why.</p>

6

<p>Looking at the data this year, it seems like the only school that deferred Rickoids was Harvard. It's not a guarantee to Harvard, but it's almost a guarantee to any other school.</p>

7

<p>What gets kids accepted into that? How many apply and how many are admitted?</p>

8

<p>lotta reasons why kids are accepted into it. 50 rickoids out of app 1100-1200 applications</p>

<p>I've read that you said it was extremely hard to get in from the northeast. Do you have any idea about the # of (qualified) applicants there were from Illinois?</p>

<p>damn canada for not being a participating nation...><</p>

<p>wat's RSI ? The one i know has something to do with frequent typing, but don't think it has any relevance to this thread...</p>

<p>go to high school forum. there is a thread called "Research Science Institute 2005" with app 800 posts.</p>
