<p>“One person who went to RSI stated that he never really did much research but he did show his passion for basketball and that basketball was what got him into RSI. Strange.”</p>
<p>That’s probably a joke, lol. I am quite sure someone who does not talk about science will not get in. Was he RSI '06?</p>
<p>“It does mean you’re part of a crowd with around an 80% acceptance rate to MIT XD. If you get into RSI, then you have a better chance of MIT than almost everyone who didn’t go to RSI.”</p>
<p>It’s been said before…but Rickoids do not get into MIT because they went to RSI. They get in because they are qualified in math/science terms.</p>
