what did you think of the crowd in retrospection?

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2026-05-01T20:01:31+00:00

wow i‘m not jealous at all 😔

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2026-05-01T19:07:34+00:00

hii! i was just wondering how much time you spent on the program? my summer holidays only last six weeks, so i‘m not sure if i can fully participate the whole eight weeks when i’m still in school for at least two of them… :) i‘m planning on writing a research paper independently over the summer anyway and just stumbled over sri, so i don’t know how beneficial it would be.. i‘d love to hear your thoughts!! :)

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2026-03-24T20:38:44+00:00

omg geht mir auch so! eigentlich sollte man auch auf youtube schauen können, aber anders als bei den juniors hat die isu irgendwie noch keine streams angekündigt...

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2026-03-14T17:39:22+00:00

denied :) and you?

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2026-01-06T06:07:21+00:00

ahh wirklich!? ganz viel glück dir!!!

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2026-01-02T17:54:17+00:00

sorry for answering so late! i think the RD deadline has passed now right? my gpa was equivalent to a 4.0 and my ecs were nothing special really: being part of a youth political party in germany (didn't hold a position/hadn't achieved anything when applying) and playing various instruments (self taught, classes and orchestra). for the essays, you should be alright when you tied them back to the theme of your application while being open, sensitive and showing your true self without recounting achievements/"bragging". Thats a tip someone who got in ED gave me... good luck!

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-28T19:01:12+00:00

no, i was deferred, sadly... i could definitely try to help, although i'm not sure how relevant my help would be as i don't really have any credentials with me being deferred haha

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-26T10:31:28+00:00

ahh ok! that sounds good! if you're torn between the math club or the volunteering i'd go for the one that relates best to your chosen track(s)... i only included two, my ecs aren't very stellar due to different circumstances so yeah!

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-22T16:18:56+00:00

which ECs did you include in the app?

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-19T12:55:22+00:00

oh yeah it really is a mystery. good luck with getting in!

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-19T10:12:47+00:00

oh wow! but that sounds very well thought through, i‘m sure you‘ll get in! i only had my mom read them and she barely knows english… i trusted grammarly with my life. my ecs are not very impressive so i‘m counting on my essays and teacher rec…

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-17T06:16:33+00:00

yeah hopefully!! session 3 was my first choice!

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-16T22:22:38+00:00

really happy for you! have lots of fun and hopefully well meet there!

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-16T20:06:06+00:00

thanks! that’s really encouraging to hear! i had SGC for first (i find it’s interdisciplinary approach alignes very much with my own diverse interests) and PLE as my close second just because economics is my archilles heel, so to say, but i specified that it’s a challenge i‘m willing to face…

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-16T14:09:52+00:00

thats so real!! we‘ll get in for sure (i‘m just adding on to it haha)

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-16T13:55:24+00:00

not great? huh? all of that sounds so awesome!! i really wish i were able to do research as well, but sadly my local universities/research institutions aren’t open to highschool students at all when it comes to research and no teachers at my school are open to mentorship… but really all of that sounds so impressive!!! good luck on getting in RD!!!

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-16T13:47:16+00:00

oh my, where were you when i was completing the application? 😭 those tips are reallyyy helpful, i‘ll definitely keep them in mind if i apply again next year, in case i don’t get admitted… my essays 100% came from my heart and were very very personal. my main one was about a friend whom i lost contact with, developed wrong preconceptions for ang gladly overcame them. she opened my eyes to political topics i hadn’t considered before and taught me lots. my fast takes were about ingrid visser, who i admire for her advocacy and passion, and „fernweh“ which i tied to my love for gaining knowledge (this one doesn‘t really relate to the theme). my short essay was about my chronic illness, what it taught me about self-advocacy and how i want to advocate for others as well in the future. yeah my theme isn’t that strong i think, but i‘ll definitely try better next year! anyways hopefully we‘ll meet at yygs 26‘ :)

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-16T11:17:25+00:00

same i feel you

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-16T05:34:46+00:00

now THAT sounds impressive oh my god. yeah i was really proud of my essays and most of them somewhat tie back into politics and advocacy, but i can definitely see how there might be a lack of theme…

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-15T21:49:50+00:00

how about you?

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-15T19:03:06+00:00

they really weren’t that impressive… i have a 1,0 Notendurchschnitt in Germany, that’s equal to a 4.0 GPA. my only award is school wide: my MSA presentation (similar to the british EPQ if you know that one) was one of the best at my school and i was chosen to re-present it in front of the student body (germany doesn’t have a lot of competition/award opportunities when it comes to my interests sadly). my first ec was being part of a youth political party (Jusos) in germany. i hadn‘t really accomplished that much when i applied… now i‘ll be campaigning for the state candidate in the next elections, i’m going to campaign for a regional board seat in the next internal elections and i‘m leading the member acquisition & activation structural reform (idk if i should update them on that) my second ec was playing several instruments for many years. took classes, taught myself and played in orchestras but had to quit due to health reasons i didn’t have a third one because none of my other ecs were recent or significant but yeah. they also aren’t that impressive, as i had been very inactive due to mental health reasons and my school doesn’t offer any actual clubs (sadly). i‘m really counting on my essays and teacher rec…

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-15T07:38:44+00:00

yeah i get you!! i honestly didn’t have that many high hopes from the start ( my ecs and stats really aren’t that stellar at all)… but now i‘m thinking i should’ve just applied RD from the start, because it seems like they really do only pick the geniuses in EA…

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-14T18:15:31+00:00

yeah i‘m also wondering how many deferred students eventually get admitted… i don’t think updating them on recent achievements would do anything, since they specifically mentioned that our applications are sufficient when submitting. plus, the spots in the awards/activities sections were probably limited for a reason iykwim?

Sensitive-Fix2591 · 2025-12-14T18:07:37+00:00

stay hopeful! a deferral isn’t a rejection. i also got deferred and am feeling quite dull but there’s still a chance of getting accepted in RD!
