It’s SIMR, so above the 2300/3.9/decent EC line, I’d say it’s essentially a crapshoot. (Of course, that rather describes the freshman admissions process at a certain institution as well.) Your stats seem decent - wouldn’t worry too much if I were you.
anyone get any update? i know it says notification by April 3rd.
Not yet
Post when you hear guys!

Rec from AP Physics teacher: Decent. Not sure how it factors in SIMR admissions or compares to that of others.
Overall I probably don’t hold a candle to most SIMR applicants, especially the Bay Area ones.

About 1 day and 15 hrs left!
I’m getting nervous…
Are the notifications going to be released just generally on Friday or is there a specific time?
@dearestcurry They said notifications would be released around 5 pm tomorrow. I’m assuming the notifications can come anywhere from 4:30 to 5:15. I read through the last year’s thread, and that’s what they did.
Good luck to everyone!!
On last year’s thread they called those who were accepted. Are they going to call or email this year, or both?
@ChemFire085 it’s their call to make
@ChemFire085 It didn’t say anything about calling, but if they did that last year, I think they’re probably going to do both this year.
Oh, ok thanks! And good luck to you all…
Last year, most people who were accepted got calls. A few got emails of acceptance. Those rejected got only emails. Everyone gets an email in case u don’t have ur phone when they call
Anyone get anything yet?
