Cosmos 2012

<p>Just that one? I am as well :)</p>

<p>Red Blood Cell and Light as well :D</p>

<p>Maybe I’ll see one, or both, of you guys there. Tissue engineering was my 1st choice as well, with the bioengineering cluster second :D</p>

<p>Lol I picked red blood cell, tissue engineering, and earthquakes. Luck to all three of US! It would be pretty cool if we met each other.</p>

<p>Is it okay if our supporting documents are not received by March 1 but postmarked by March 1?</p>

<p>This is so depressing…I submitted my online app this morning and postmarked it before school, except that I got my winner’s notification for a science competition at about 9am. If only I had waited a few more hours before hitting send, then I could have included the actual award rather than just writing about my experience
sigh… :frowning: what a lethal mistake</p>

<p>If it bugs you a lot, you can contact ucsd and they can write a note on your application regarding that…however, I’m not 100 percent sure they would.</p>

<p>I don’t think they are willing to make any exceptions because the deadline is today(if they allow one exception, they would have to allow other applicants to update their competition statuses), and I guess it is mostly my fault for not taking a chance and waiting a couple more hours (even though I had no idea they were announcing results today anyway).</p>

<p>:( and now comes two months of waiting
I pretty much destroyed my own chances today</p>

<p>this is startling…
afourally, nicolestarb</p>

<p>when did they update this info on the app page? I did not realize they changed deadlines?</p>

All Applications must be completed by 7pm tonight.
Teacher Recommendations will be accepted until Thursday, March 8 at 5pm.</p>

<p>I know! They just changed this stuff tonight. I believe this is the first time they’ve done this because it’s always been 5:00 PM (according to my teacher) and the teacher recs must have been done by today. That’s soooo odd.</p>

<p>So they did change it just now, at the last minute!</p>

<p>Oh my goodness, when I first saw it this afternoon I mistakenly believed that it was there all along, and that I just read the instructions too carelessly</p>

<p>@afourally: I think you confused MomentumA7 with me. XD I’m applying to UCD: Chemistry of Life.</p>

<p>Wow. Weird new deadline changes. It must have been really sudden, because UCD hasn’t even updated its main page and Twitter yet, and UCD has normally been very prompt about such things.</p>

<p>That’s so weird, why would they change it? A bunch of people were cramming to finish the application; my friend even didn’t going to school yesterday to finish it…AND it was last minute.</p>

<p>I feel kind of cheated now lol</p>

<p>Maybe they got a lot of browser compatibility complaints regarding the new website and system and wanted to make up for it? I use Chrome, though. (Way better than Internet Explorer…)</p>

<p>You guys should go the COSMOS 2012 waiting thread that I created!
<a href=“COSMOS 2012 Waiting Board - Summer Programs - College Confidential Forums”>COSMOS 2012 Waiting Board - Summer Programs - College Confidential Forums;

<p>So I submitted my online application yesterday, and I postmarked my supporting documents today on March 2. I keep hearing from conflicting sources whether the postmark deadline was March 1st or “the following day”. Will my supporting documents be accepted? :O</p>

<p>It’s postmarked by march 1st…I’m not sure if they will.</p>

<p>Ugh. The only thing I have on my side, then, is this line from an email they sent to all of us: </p>

<p>“The online application system will shut down on Thursday March 1st. All supporting documents must also be postmarked by the following day normal Post Office business hours.”</p>

<p>You should contact someone from where you applied.</p>
