Can someone please suggest which program s better and more selective as my son has made it to both programs but pretty confused as to which one to go for as they both seem pretty good programs…my son is a rising senior…thank you in advance
Did you accept RMP? My son also need to decide between RMP and MT&SI. Please share.
I attended PACT last year. IMHO it’s a really good program and I definitely learned A LOT, but it depends on what your interests are. The class is basically a Discrete Math (first/second year level) crammed into 5 weeks. The prof is wonderful (and is a CS faculty member at Penn iirc) and teaches very well.
Also, kids who do PACT seem to get into really good schools. Anecdotal info, but from my friends I found out about 5 got into CMU, 2 to Princeton, a couple to Penn and several to Cornell. (This is from PACT 2017).
