<p>I know that there were few SuMaC related threads/posts out there, but no one really said
how hard it is to get into SuMac. </p>
<p>I'm planning on applying for the 2014 SuMaC between my sophomore and junior year
(I know, it's a bit too early to think about it)
but I'm not sure if I should.
It seems like a summer program for geniuses from all around the world :P</p>
<p>By next year, I'll be taking Calc AB and self-studying Calc BC.
So far, I've been the one of the best math-guy around my grade and was usually
the only person to ace the finals. </p>
<p>I'll just get to the point since it sounds like I'm just boasting :P</p>
<p>How smart are the people who get admitted to SuMaC?
Is it somehow equivalent to the difficulty of Cosmos?</p>
<p>I think it will be pretty difficult to get in…</p>
<p>I believe I will be applying too, but I’m not sure if I should, because of my low test scores.</p>
<p>Even though I have been getting As on every math classes and currently taking Calc AB as a Sophomore, I really did horrible on the standardized tests… :c</p>
<p>Anyways, good luck to you!</p>
<p>I was a House page (better than a Senate page, fo sho lollll…there’s a “big” rivalry haha)…it’s a great program. A friend of mine was a Senate page and loved it. I suppose it’s prestigious, but don’t do it if you don’t love politics…keep in mind that it is a real job, and that you will have to work pretty much a minimum of 8 hours a day, and you’ll get assigned to late duty and end up working something like 16-hour days occasionally (yeah this happened to me). It’s AMAZING if you love politics/IR/government, probably not-so-fun if you don’t. Check out <a href=“http://www.congressionalpage.org%5B/url%5D”>www.congressionalpage.org</a> for more info about the programs, I don’t feel like elaborating here. Apply to both Senators and your Rep. if you want the best chances of getting in. (It is pretty selective). </p>
<p>Overall, I think SUMaC is pretty difficult to get into. However, when I started the program, I didn’t really know anything except basic systems of equations.</p>
<p>you basically have to take all the math classes your school has to offer and score near-perfect grades in all of them
it helps if you’ve taken real analysis before junior year
also many of the kids are MOP kids
jk
it’s a party
