<p>I’m from Wisconsin applying for RSI 2007. I’m really excited about this, but I have no idea what the standards are for the admissions. For those who went to RSI already, or any other people who are nice enough to help, it would be great to know where I stand. </p>

<p>(qualified to give presentation on Wisconsin Science Symposium on Feb)</p>
<p>Here are my main concerns:
Will my ISEF achievements cover for my shortcomings in other areas?
They say 220 is recommended for PSAT, but I’m 217 and still 99% cuz Wisconsin has lower standards than most states.
AND Do they receive updated transcripts after deadline after sending in my initial one before deadline? My grades jump really high in my 1st semester of junior, especially in the science/math courses. </p>
<p>THANK YOU!!</p>
