Thanks a lot and welcome for recommendation
I’m only familiar with SUMaC and PROMYS. Both programs will give you a math test during the admissions process, which is the single most important item in your application. “Most” students in these programs enjoy math competitions and have had exposure to ‘recreational mathematics’ outside of the standard school curriculum. The programs value curiosity and out-of-the-box thinking, much more so than the ability to apply formulas you have memorized.
You should plan to pay for the program fees out of pocket, since financial aid is usually limited to US citizens.
