Hello! Has everyone received their results from CSR-x program

hi guys!!

so my friends and I did the whole college app process this year and we all ended up at our dream school (#Berkeley!!!). One thing we noticed is that a lot of college counselors require a lot of money to help kids with the college app process or developing extracurriculars. As someone who didn't want to pay thousands of dollars for something I could do myself, I counted on older Berkeley students to help me and guide me through the process.

As someone who ended up having internships at Stanford and working for various startups in high school, I want to give back and be a mentor to people who felt unsure and nervous about college apps.

I'm planning to have a cohort of around 15-20 high schoolers (any grade) who get a year of personalized extracurricular planning and guidance, essay help, unlimited messages and phone calls, and a closer environment to obtain help with college. I will be giving you extracurriculars to do, opportunities to apply for, and curate your application for your dream school and major. While most counselors charge thousands, each accepted student will pay $75 for the whole year-and yes, you can book unlimited 1-1 meetings and DM me 24/7 for extra help. Of course,I can't take too many people, so please comment down if interested and I can send you the application form. You don't need to be cracked to be accepted, but we can only help students who are creative and have the drive to put in the work.

THE FORM IS DUE JULY 18! It is NOT rolling as we want to accept the top 20 students with the most potential + drive to be successful. Please be honest in your responses-you don't necessarily need to be cracked to be accepted.

HERE IS THE APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/ZxMSFMuXmG847YSp7

Last week I made a post about a high school student research institution that I was starting up.

In just under 48 hours, hundreds of students either commented or personally reached out to me, and more are still reaching out.

We are aiming high, and I think with a group of dedicated students, we can do that. This isn’t advertising another one month student ec on Reddit for college apps. There is a genuine gap that our institution has found and we want to fix it. This is the start of something that I’m hoping will last for years and can really make a difference.

Our platform is nearly done and we are aiming for launch this Thursday-Friday.

The good news: I anticipated instituting undergrad mentors starting September, but turns out it’ll be starting Day 1. I just onboarded an undergrad @ UCLA as a mentor yesterday and I’m in active talks with mentors at Harvard, Tufts, and more.

comment interested for more info. I’ll update this post later this week with applications, the website, and the official Discord server.

hey guys, anyone else get waitlisted for CSR-X? does anyone know if the waitlist is really large or how competitive it is to get accepted off of it? just curious what my chances might be.

i already have an idea and full year plan set up and everything, but I do need a lot of help! We have 2 founder chair positions avaliable, and plenty of chapter leader positions to be taken up!

Please, comment if youre interested and/or dm me, as I'll have some questions to see if youre a good fit and will be committed fully! Thanks!

Also, if you get rejected for the found chair positions, please don't give up because we have plenty of chapter leader positions!

Details will be explained since I alr have an idea, just lmk if ur interested. I will be asking a couple questions before to see if ur a good fit. only looking for TRULY committed individuals. Slackers will be kicked without hesitation. :)

Also in terms of humanities, I mean writing. If you are a passionate writer with a interest in STEM, this is the project for you!

hi everyone!

i have two upcoming summer programs. i already got into talaria summer institute and waiting on the results for the csr-x program. i believe csr x comes out the 7th based on well i mean reddit.

obv rn idk if i got into csr x yet but i was wondering if i did somehow get in would u recommend doing it along with talaria? im def doing talaria as its 1 on 1. my ecs are not very stem-based and im looking at majoring in math data science smth along those lines so i want to maximize my stem ecs. csr x has a project that's really similar to my interests but i heard some issues with mentors (smth about them also being high schoolers?)

i'm taking the july act so after that i should be a bit more free after (except for summer hw which is a later august problem and college app preparation however ur supposed to start that)

what would you recommend? could i do both this summer?

Some kids I see are publishing independent research at workshops. How tf? Am I cooked, I’m a stem applicant applying this year with zero research experience. Is there any research I can still do and get published before apps. Someone please guide me on the right path I’m so confused.

Hi guys:) I had an interview with this program on June 15 and it went good. I asked for 90% aid for the record. But I still don't have results. On 25th of June, I asked my interviewer whether I've been accepted or not. She said that it could take up to 2 weeks to know the results. Its been more than 2 weeks. So I wanted to ask you guys if I should give up on being accepted. Because I read somewhere that many people got their results after 5 or 6 days and they were accepted. Or should I have my hopes up and ask my interviewer again about my status?

anyone get accepted? all acceptances are out.

the title. I'm a rising high school senior with a little research experience (the EE in IB, a non-prestigious research summer program, and a research internship where I read several hundred articles--did basic jobs basically :( ). I'm looking for several people to write a paper together, hopefully to publish it. on gene therapy

You may be a sophomore or junior looking to apply to the world’s most prestigious humanities summer program - and I understand; that was me a year ago. 

For the TASS 2026 cohort, we were able to spend 2 weeks together but what was happening behind the scenes was a complete shock to us. The Camp Director was supposed to guide and run all programmatic activities. But within a few days, he went MIA and would only briefly show up to the site once in a blue moon. 

The Residential Advisors (RAs) and Assistant Camp Director (ACD) had no choice but to work overtime with their minimal compensation and do the Camp Director’s job running the activities. Obviously, they were overworked and so they started to put their foot down to the TASS Administration/Board and fight for labor equity (after a series of emails and calls unanswered). This is when the administration, including the Executive Director, decided they didn’t want to poke a tiny hole in their $75 Million budget and chose to shut down the camp midway instead. Additionally, the academic professors/“factota” were not given proper support either.

I understand that many high achieving high schoolers would want to participate in such a prestigious program - but this is what happened to our cohort, and if you really are at that high level, you could see the hypocrisy in how TASS preached justice and anti-oppression, yet practiced the complete opposite with their residential staff. 

Please do not support or encourage these oppressive, bigoted, and racist (because majority of admin are white and condescending) authoritarian individuals with power that they abuse. 

Remember that if you truly stand for social justice and equity for the rest of the world, TASS IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. 

Fuck Tass admin and board for ruining the experiences for 36 of the brightest humanities students in the world, and for inflicting the very oppression they claim to stand against. 

i applied to CSR X but i didn't get any confirmation email afterwards. Does that mean my application didn't go or what?? Or did no one receive any confirmation email? plzzz let me know.

I wanted to know if its possible for me as an international from egypt to get into rsi if i didnt participate in isef or olympiads. I expect to start 2 resesrch projects, im currently building 2 apps, i have a resesrch internship, i have a tech scholarship from the egyptian ministry, and idk but i was thinking on applying to nyas junior academy but idk if itll help.

I barely have any awards stem related as of now but i expect to join a big international/national science competition in november and i hope i win an award.

Am i cooked?

I got in!! This is the first fly-in I applied to, so I am very happy but I haven't heard of anyone else who got in

Any other results… we should make a gc or smt

hmu if ur from a really niche place, I got a solid project in a lab that has high potential, but I live in california where the competition is really competitive for science fairs. It is pretty much free ISEF.
