USABO 2010 - Discuss

<p>^I was talking about other hormones. ;)</p>

<p>^^ weren’t gibberellins first studied in rice with bakanae (foolish seedling disease)?</p>

<p>I know. :wink: right back at you. :P</p>

<p>^^ samgunno: right. My bad! Cytokinins were zeatin, I believe.</p>

<p>Insorak: Woah, Harvard Professor. You must be ahead of the curve here haha</p>

<p>^ haha. Harvard has a program called Extension School, where (mostly) college undergrads can take extra classes at a fairly hefty expense. Of course, when they say “undergrad”, they don’t expressly say “college student”, so a particularly motivated high school student can get in too. xD</p>

<p>Anybody got a number on how many people from Thomas Jefferson are in finals?</p>

<p>No idea. Is it up yet?</p>

<p>Evidently not. >.<</p>

<p>I can’t get into the Finalist. I would have done better if prepared last 2 years.</p>

<p>@ tuan: it doesn’t always help. Look at me.</p>

<p>Nothing yett</p>

<p>Nope, nothing.</p>

<p>This waiting is awful.</p>

<p>Does a formal letter of acceptance come by mail?
She called me yesterday because I didn’t state my city-state-zip on my address.</p>

<p>Also, the website says finals are until 6/19, but the questionnaire only asked for availability until 6/18… can someone clarify?</p>

<p>You guys that have been called. Have you, you know, tried emailing/calling her about when it’s going to be released? Get an explanation for this mess?</p>

<p>You guys were promised a posted list of Finalists this week? Gosh, I haven’t seen them do that since, like, 2007.</p>

<p>This is a new director this year. It has been explicitly stated over and over again that it would’ve been on Wednesday.</p>

<p>It was my impression that finals are until the 18th, but if you make the team, you have to stay until the 20th. I could be wrong though.</p>

<p>This wait is kinda irritating… if I’m going to be gone for two weeks in the summer (and miss graduation), I’d like to know as soon as possible so I can plan appropriately.</p>

<p>^^^ kryptonsa: don’t they post the list every year?</p>

<p>They do post it every year, but the wait varies.</p>
