@llanaknits Hopefully it evens out. People here have long lists of awards and activities so my amazing 0 science/math awards is pretty disappointing in comparison…
@bubblemaster3000 I would’t worry too much about the statistical percentages. Maybe you’ll be different and go against those odds. Your application is also important, not just the mathematical chance 
Also, this forum hit 1,000 replies!
@llanaknits. I completely agree with the first part, I briefly mentioned it a couple months ago. It looks like a lot of people who are on this chat get in, given they have decent stats.
@bubblemaster3000. Do NOT think that way. Your application is more than just numbers. trust me, that’s how it goes for college apps and IMSA apps.
anyone mind sending me their essays (I’m not applying until next year, so I just wanted to see some examples).
@bubblemaster3000 Chance me you uncultured baked potato!
Jk on the last 4 words xD
@coolcatz1 I do not understand why people think I am good. Like, my school is one of the top schools where people apply :(. And my GPA is a lousy 3.8 if I calculate it in IMSA standards. Basically everyones GPA’s here is amazing, and even if there GPA isn’t then it doesn’t matter as they do not go to the school I go to 
. I wish I could redo my 7th grade as I did not do great then
@floridagators100 … Just to make you feel better:
I got a D- on my 1st semester of my 7th grade because I came to school 1 month late… transferred from another state… My math teacher did not let me to make up for anything, so she just plugged in my D- for my first test and the quarter was over… This math teacher also kicked me out of FLL club … for good, no return- her rules. The second I got a D- for my math test, my life was over… I begged her to let me stay at FLL… NO! … she insisted to kick me out of advanced math class also… hopefully my principal and my counselor both was fighted for me… I stayed in advanced math class and brought my grades to A+ … but this D- probably ruined my life forever! And my IMSA chance also…
I did applied to IMSA as an 8th grader this year… just for a feel of what have to be done…
I will apply next year again… However I feel myself handicapped by my math teacher`s D- …
I probably need to get 800 for math SAT next year to prove I was right…
Sorry for emotions…
You are good @floridagators100 !
Good luck everyone!
whew everything is turned in for me how about you guys #:-S
@ck1012 same! my math teacher rec was having some trouble going through, but i emailed the admissions support and it got in this morning. it’s such a relief, but now there’s nothing to do except wait. ha. ha. fun.
Funny it was my math teacher too XD @llanaknits And the real wait begins :-w
my science teacher turned it at the last minute. I have to press that new “request again” button to get a new form for her. =D> At least I earned how to gracefully push grown-ups to get things done.
Good luck every one!
Oh gosh, My counsellor and transcripts weren’t registering as submitted so I had to email Admissions, haha. Mild freakout but I think I’m all good now, haha.
Hope you guys have everything in! It’s going to be a fun admissions season!
My math teacher also waited until late last night to submit it. Now we just wait!
My science teacher is still waiting :-S
i would suggest emailing him/her because it’s kinda urgent @javascript
8 weeks till the results come!!! No matter what happens post your results on the forum, we won’t judge.
@llanaknits I sent her an email today so my mom did… no response…
IMSA said they will not deny my application even though my teacher will send the evaluation in a couple of days.
Also, as an 8th grader I supposed to send then my online biology class report. I requested progress report… no response too…
Guys you see how many problems I am dealing with here ???.. Very unfriendly environment… is it just a bad luck? :-?
I can not think of anything… :-/
@javascript the only thing i can say is relax. like seriously.
it isn’t the end of the world, especially since you’re in 8th grade.
imsa isn’t going to deny you for this; it’s gonna be ok.
Hey guys. I am new to this forum (Even though I have been following this for a while now) and I really want to go to IMSA. I submitted my application like the rest of you guys and my teachers/counselor/principal have all submitted their recommendations/forms. I’m not going to lie, this wait is pretty brutal. I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with other activities, but I just keep finding myself thinking about IMSA all the time! Lol. I am an Asian Male from the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. Good luck to all of you!
Ahhhhhh, I know that we’re supposed to feel better now that it’s not on us but I’m so anxious for the next 8 weeks, guys. I’m so nervous.
8 weeks…At least I will have a couple of robotics competitions before then. Hope to see some of you guys at them! :)>-
