SUMaC Residential vs. Ross
AwesomeDude10   6
N 5 hours ago by boaway123
Hi! I got into the SUMaC residential i program, and I also recently got off the Ross waitlist. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on which program is
1) More useful in furthering my mathematical knowledge (which has a better curriculum)
2) Since I'm a junior, which is more useful for college apps? (I know this is a little cringe)
Thanks!

rejected as sophomore, 2nd time applicant. Nearly fullsolve pset(except for the last problem, which I fake solved). Decent-ish essays about how I got into math, cooperation in sports, and hobbies like chess and physics.

i got a "non-decision" email delaying my decision for a few weeks after a lot of complications regarding my letter of rec ... did anyone else get this? is this a de facto reject?

for reference i submitted my app mid-march but i got this email 4/12 when they finally got all my app stuff together

to give more context on what I said @2above, I got an email getting my decision pushed back by a few weeks. I know it's not a rejection cuz I guess people who submitted later than me are getting rejected (unless for some reason they go in a FILO process) so they have probably looked at my app and decided to give a decision later.

anyone know odds of getting on if ur not straight rejected (the 1-2 weeks decision pushback email). assuming its not too big as its pretty late in the decision process and there's only a couple of spots left probably :(

They are definitely higher than they were before, think positively!

If you have a complete application, it might take a long time to get a result. I know someone who got an email saying their decision was pushed back roughly 1.5 weeks after they submitted it, so there is probably no strict deadline.

Did they also just say "you were not a good fit," or was it just to me? I'm just wondering if they just hate me or if that is just how they email people :skull

Yeah, they did that for me as well, followed by what looked like a lot of resources. I read the email in between classes so I couldn’t read it too clearly.
