Hey guys, haven’t seen a thread for SIP this year yet…anyone else thinking of applying? Also does anyone know the acceptance rate/other stats? thanks!
Hi! I’m applying! I don’t have any info, though!
I’m applying too! I don’t have much information other than it is very tough to get in to
I’m applying as well. Looking at some of the stats from their website, they get over 400 applicants every year and last year there were 157 interns, which would indicate roughly a 25% acceptance rate, though I think it tougher than that would seem to show.
do any alumni have advice on what to include on the essays/what they talked about? thanks!
how does sips compare to cosmos in terms of acceptance rate and weight on college app?
@billtang same I’d like to know that too
@billtang @tofudeer Well if the post by Itwixster is correct, I would say COSMOS has a lower acceptance rate. I attended COSMOS last year and I believe the acceptance for most campuses was 15-20%.
@Itwixster could you post the link to where yo found the stats
One more day until decisions… good luck everyone!
Does anyone know what time decisions come out?
does anyone know if admissions are sent by email or through the portal?
@seehoarse email
@seehoarse actually they’re on the student portal right now
haha im too scared to check!
also, SIP and COSMOS have different goals, so it depends what you are going for 
got rejected…anyone get in?
I got waitlisted. The portal says that “there is a high likelihood that you will receive an admission offer and project placement”. Does anyone know the chances for getting off the waitlist?
rejected 
does anyone have any tips for science summer programs for people below 16 years of age?
I am a freshman and I got rejected too. Any tips on what the profile was for people who were accepted ?
Also, any essay tips?
