Rsi 2013

<p>Well, im pretty sure you can send in both or even just 1. So say you did worse on the PSAT (maybe <220) but got @ least 2200 on the SAT, I think it would be better just to send the sat, correct me if im wrong? </p>

<p>Also, how long do UPS/FEDEX take? Because I am mailing all my stuff on Monday because I need a signature from my school about my PSAT score. Will RSI accept the PSAT/or SAT score as a printout without a school signature or something?</p>

<p>I contacted Maite about this ealier; she said you MUST send in your PSAT scores at the very least. Also, do we have to print everything out and mail it in (even the stuff we completed online)? I’m very confused…if possible, can somebody please make a list of everything we need to put in the envelope?</p>

<p>@IMSA2014 How long does Matie take to reply usually?</p>

<p>She replied within 40 minutes for me.</p>

<p>do your schools include PSAT scores on your transcript? I’m not sure mine does, but they include AP scores…</p>

<p>@Cordycepin: Just to give you a more reassuring answer, I’m RSI '12 and I applied with the exact same two research interests. :slight_smile: Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>I second Jason. I basically applied with plant immunology (yes, this exists and is a fascinating area), and animal immunology. Just make the first category different, and direct it with the second. Oh and I’m RSI 12 too.</p>

<p>sbob13- I did that too: just write NOT TAKEN in the space to the right…they understand</p>

<p>@IMSA2014:
yes, you have to print out everything and sent it in. Here’s a list of what I put in:</p>

<ol>
<li> Print out of the online ā€œPart 1ā€ form.</li>
<li> Answers to essay questions.</li>
<li> List of achievements</li>
<li> Photocopy of transcript and score reports</li>
<li> The ā€œpart 4/5ā€ pdf with signatures</li>
<li> 2 teacher recommendations in sealed envelopes</li>
<li> A copy of my transcript and score reports in a sealed envelope from my school</li>
<li> Self-addressed postcard (or a self-addressed envelope in my case)</li>
</ol>

<p>And don’t forget the application fee if you’re sending in a check. I made my payment online.</p>

<p>hope this helps! :)</p>

<p>@penguinlover2016: it’s ok if our school directly mailed CEE our official transcript and test scores right?</p>

<p>once the application is submitted online, and you visit your application to print/view it says 2012 at the top of every section heading as opposed to 2013. Has anyone else seen this?</p>

<p>Submitted! Application #4623. I checked my application 50000 times before I could sent it in finally. I really hope I didn’t screw anything up or forget something.</p>

<p>Good luck guys!</p>

<p>@IMSA2014: somewhere else on this thread (i don’t know specific post number, but its somewhere), we decided that it was perfectly fine if the school sent those things separately. But if I were you, I would email Maite so they don’t accidentally throw out your application because it’s ā€œincomplete.ā€</p>

<p>@kalimata: i noticed the same thing, but i think that’s just another one of their typos.</p>

<p>@run1116: i was Application #4308 and i submitted mine like three days ago… i’m wondering if that means that 315 people applied in those three days or these numbers are just random…</p>

<p>random question, but has anyone else take the [RSI</a> Anticipation Index](<a href=ā€œhttp://excelexcel.ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– /2010/01/24/rsi-anticipation-index/]RSIā€>RSI Anticipation Index | The Uninteresting Chronicles of a High School Student) ?</p>

<p>:p i’m already getting nervous…</p>

<p>^Just did lol. I didn’t know research was valued so highly</p>

<p>Thank you @randomjason and @EldrWnd! Excited to finalize my application and hoping for the best. Best of luck to all applicants!</p>

<p>Hey is adjusting the margins (below 1) ā€œallowed?ā€</p>

<p>^I did. Don’t know if it’s allowed, but my application was looking weak so I figured the extra space from making the margins bigger outweighed the penalization, if any, for this.</p>

<p>I AM SO NERVOUS GUYS!!! I am a high stress human so this is going to be terrible, waiting until the end of March… Oh, any alums, can you tell us whether your decision was through email or mail? Thanks! I will go stalk the forums from last year to see for myself too :D</p>

<p>@Babolat1: they probably won’t throw out your application if you do, but I just edited my essays to make mine fit. i think the page limit is there to force people to be more concise and not add any fluff, and if your essays are longer because you legitimately have a lot to say, then I don’t think they will mind your adjusting the margins. after all, they didn’t say not to…</p>

<p>I took the RSI Anticipation Index and scored a measly 102.8. Yeah, chances aren’t looking so hot…</p>
