<p>Hi! I just got accepted to Program 2 of SUMAC. This will be my first year attending. I have three questions:
1) What research is conducted at SUMAC? At the end of 4 weeks, will I have enough of a paper to submit to contests like Seimens or Intell? Or is it more of an "exploration"?
2) How strict is SUMAC on the "no laptop" policy? I know last year PROMYS had a no-laptop policy, but almost half the kids (and all the second years) brought one. The counselors were generally very chill about this. Is this the case with SUMAC? Or will my laptop be confiscated?
3) How strict is SUMAC on the "asleep by 11" rule? At PROMYS last year, it was pretty much "sleep whenever your eyes close", and most students stayed up well past 3am doing problem sets/hanging out</p>
