<p>I have the same problem, highskoolstudent. I emailed Maite but haven’t gotten a reply yet. I thought that maybe it was just my old decrepit adobe version, so I am trying to install the newer version. Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Haha ZFrankel. You almost made me forget about APs next week.
Almost.</p>
<p>bought my plane ticket today. going to rsi seems more real now :D</p>
<p>I booked mine a couple days ago. We’re one step closer to rsi =p</p>
<p>btw has anyone recieved the rsi student handbook?</p>
<p>Last year, internationals were emailed the handbook sometime in late May. Domestics got the handbook mailed to them later - middle of June-ish.
So if you can’t wait, get an international attendee to forward it to you ;)…but it will probably be a few weeks before anyone recieves it.</p>
<p>wait, do we get anything else between the mailing of the invitation and the handbook?</p>
<p>What time are you arriving? My flight comes in at 10:40 (it’s a little early, but it was the cheapest).</p>
<p>What does the handbook contain?</p>
<p>I’m arriving at 11:50.<br>
“The RSI Student Handbook gives important rules, guidelines, and other information for your stay
at MITs Simmons Dorm.” - from the letter that maite sent us with all the forms</p>
<p>Speaking of international, I have a question…I am a permanent resident of the United States, and RSI sounds really cool. Unfortunately, RSI has that citizen rule…do I have to apply as an international? Can I even do that?</p>
<p>You need to be a citizen to apply if you live in the United States.</p>
<p>So I can’t apply internationally either?</p>
<p>I don’t think so. My friends who had green cards couldn’t.</p>
<p>you should be able to apply internationally, ask maite.</p>
<p>
Not true, there are tons of permanent residents who go to RSI every year. I’m pretty sure that as a permanent resident, you’re essentially applying as a domestic applicant jieyoon.</p>
<p>But vanilea is right, contact Maite (she’s very nice and helpful :)) if you have any questions about eligibility…since I could be wrong too :P.</p>
<p>oh hmm odd. Sorry about that then. I never realy looked into the permanent resident status thing(besides what my friend told me) since I wasn’t one.</p>
<p>Hmm…I did send an email to Maite that went like:
I am a student interested in the RSI program. However, while I was
looking through the site, it said that domestic applicants must be US
citizens. Will permanent residence count? I have lived in the United
States for over 11 years, and RSI looks like something I would really
like to apply to.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>And the response was:
Thanks for your interest. You must be a US citizen to apply to RSI in the
US. We are now closed for 2006.</p>
<p>Best of luck,</p>
<p>Maite</p>
<p>But anyway I hope you’re right about us being allowed to go. And thanks for being so helpful everybody.</p>
<p>looks like this prog weighs PSATs pretty high, one kid i kno got a 229, but on the real SATs got like a 2100-flat, he was so ****ed off, lol</p>
<p>i didn’t even care about those, cuz I’m gonna ace the real one’s anyways</p>
<p>I’ll be arriving at 3:36 pm :-/, but it was either that or 6:25 am. It’s okay, though, because I’m leaving at 5 pm on August 5th mwahahhaha :)</p>
