international summer school for young physicists 2015

Hi you all!
I am a 17 year old student applying to ISSYP 2015. I am an international baccalaureate student - is that helpful or hurtful when applying?
Also, I am applying as a international - do you know if there is a difference beween how difficult it is to get in if you are a canadian national or international?

Thank you so much!

If it hasn’t changed in the last couple of years, they select 20 from Canada and 20 from outside Canada, so it’s harder for an international because you’re competing with the rest of the world. I don’t know about IB preference, but they are looking for students that have taken and been successful in physics, and have reached at least the calculus level, though most of the students will be well beyond that.

Thanks @Tollfree. Do you by any chance how many internationals and how many canadians usually apply?

Hey @julesverne did you get in? I applied as well and got waitlisted :frowning: Hope I get in eventually. Where are you from btw?
