CEE announced on Twitter and Facebook today that the application process for RSI 2013 will open in mid-November! That's earlier than last year...you guys will actually have more than a month to do your apps!  | |

Hey guys,
I can't seem to find the essay prompts online. If you don't mind, could someone post them up so I can at least start thinking about them?
Thanks.

Should I even bother applying? My grades kind of suck, but I recently was named semifinalist in the Siemens competition, and like 80% of my ECs are science-related.

So I'm starting to freak out about this now (as is everyone, no doubt). I know for a fact that someone else from my school is applying, and she has 2 years of research experience in a college lab that I don't have (she even went to ISEF last year). Luckily, I managed to get a research opportunity with a postdoc this year, but I'm not sure "Currently conducting research on ____ at _____." means anything to anyone. I guess.... could a rickoid perhaps chance me? I know there is no way for a 100% yes or no answer, but perhaps I could get an indication of whether or not I have a fighting chance of getting in? Thanks so much in advance!
SAT-R: 2270 (800 CR, 770 Math, 700 writing (yeah, I'm retaking that. I somehow got a 7 on the essay)
SAT Subject: 800 Chem, 770 Spanish
Last year's PSAT scores: 80 CR, 70 Math, 68 Writing
(on the subject of PSAT scores, how are we supposed to tell them what we got when we haven't even recieved them for this year by the time applications open?)
APs: 5s in Biology, Chemistry, Spanish, and European History
Current classes: Academic Decathlon, Math Analysis H, Computer Science AP, AP US History, AP English, AP Physics
GPA: 4.0, I guess? It's all As, I don't know what scale to use
Beginner's knowledge in C and C++, intermediate in Python and Java, learning MATLAB
Currently conducting research at a nearby high-ranking university (you would probably recognize the name...)
Qualified for AIME last year (unfortunately could not participate due to a clash of dates)
Head of my school robotics team
I think that's everything of note... Thanks again for doing this, and good luck to all the other juniors applying!

Good luck everyone!
Even though my GPA is quite low for a prestigeous program like this... Some achievement of myself to showoff to other applicants (I'm applying myself)
- I have around 12 300-500 Level Math college classes completed
- Took AP Physics C, BC (when I was in middle school)
- Took Java AP Comp Sci and advanced in MatLab/Maple13/Mathematica8 @ Computer Algebra class in college
- 80 on PSAT Math, 36 ACT Math, 800 on SAT Math Standard, 1 & 2
- #1 CTY Talent Search certificate
- USAMO qualifier likely this year
- Prior research report experience : Worked on writing a report on "Oscillation of blood pressure"
- President of Math Club, Science club , Engineering club and Robotics club (Founder of Science club too)
Field I'm looking at : Mathematics Subfield: Geometry
Biology: Neurology

this seems like such an amazing opportunity . . . i just hope i can really convey my passion for science through my essays, especially since my stats aren't particularly impressive.

While I'm only applying myself this year, from what I found on the internetz, there's really no reason NOT to apply. I don't even think there's an application fee, but it's very likely that I'm wrong.

@LuoSciOly - I tried accessing the application, but when I try to register, I get an Access Denied message. Is anyone else having the same issue?

The 2013 application is definitely there (I can see it using my account from last year), but I guess registration for new accounts isn't available yet.
