rant

For summer math programs such as Mathcamp, Ross, SUMaC, etc., if you got rejected the first time, would you change your essay for the second application or reuse it?

Is this legit? Worth the cost ($6500)? Program Fees Cover: Tuition, course materials, field trip costs, and housing and meals at Saint Mary's School.

How difficult is it to get into USA Canada math camp? What should be expected from an accepted applicant in terms of the qualifying quiz, essays and other awards or math context?

Mathcamps mathcamps mathcamps.........

If you get into one, cool! If you don't that's okay. You don't need a mathcamp to learn math. You can grind AMC/AIME at home and qual for olympiad, and if you get into a mathcamp that doesn't guarantee you for olympiad.

If you get rejected, its not the end of the world! Over the summer, you can go play frisbee and hang out with your friends; you'll probably be happier this way than laboring over problems 8 hours a day.

Besides, you have next year! And if you are a rising senior, then you will go to college and none of this will matter. Don't take rejections as an evaluation on your qualities!

I'm coping rn

Got rejected by mathily yesterday and mathcamp today. 1/15 on acceptance/rejections in my life so far...

Im coping and tmr i will probably get rejected by ross because I received this unlikely letter

unfortunately i have lost the game guys...

Post relevant details if you want, also timestamp of email if you want

I was accepted to the SUMaC Online program 1 and I need to finalize my enrollment by 4/18. I heard that Ross decisions will be released around ~4/15 and Mathcamp on 4/17. I have a high confidence in these two as I spent more time and work in these two than SUMaC. So which one would be my best choice if admitted into all three?

hey!! im a first time applicant for a lot of math camps (namely: usa-canada mathcamp, PROMYS, Ross, MathILY, HCSSiM), and I was just wondering:

1. how much of an effect would being a first-time applicant have on making these math camps individually?
2. I spent a huge amount of effort (like 50 or something hours) on the USA-Canada Mathcamp application quiz in particular, but I'm pretty worried because supposedly almost no first-time applicants get into the camp. Are there any first-time applicants that you know of, and what did their applications (as in, qualifying quiz solutions) look like?
3. Additionally, a lot of people give off the impression that not doing the full problem set will screw your application over, except in rare cases. How much do you think a fakesolve would impact my PROMYS application chances?

thanks in advance!

Hi I'm applying to USA/Canada mathcamp and just want to know how I'm doing compared to others. How many problems on average does a typical accepted applicant solve?
