<p>I just finished my application today, going to mail it in tomorrow… ahhh. Good luck to anyone else applying!</p>
<p>How many problems do applicants usually solve for PROMYS.</p>
<p>I just started working on the app today and I finished three.</p>
<p>@Urc: Good luck to you too! I really hope we all get in!</p>
<p>It really depends I think. Most people finish around 7.5/10 of the problems. But I hear the MAIN thing you have to do is make your love for math evident. That’s why i’m especially nervous…I’m not sure I wrote enough for the essay questions :(</p>
<p>Hey everyone! I’m applying as well, just finished the problems today, but I can’t send them out until next Wednesday because of a guidance scheduling issue. Will this be too late because of rolling admissions? Really want to go, good luck to you other applicants : D</p>
<p>No, I definitely don’t think it will be too late. I mean, on another website (Art of Problem Solving: it talks a lot about math summer programs, you should check it out!) some people said they sent in their applications like 2 days before the deadline and still got in.</p>
<p>I’ve just got an email telling me that I was accepted! I sent in my application on Mar. 28th, so I was getting anxious…</p>
<p>Yesss!!! I just got an email today saying I was accepted into promys! sjet10, i guess ill see you there</p>
<p>my 9th grade son got rejected, and I just want to know the average stats of the students who got accepted at PROMYS. He scored 137 on AMC 10 this year, and got 5 on AIME 2. He went to Awesomemath last summer. After reading several comments on the essay part, he does not remember whether there was a specific part of the essay other than short answers. Do you think this is the reason he got rejected??</p>
<p>I’m in 9th grade and I applied. I haven’t heard back yet though. But I haven’t done anything really mathematical, like AwesomeMath, AMC, or AIME. So, knowing that your son got rejected is making me kind of nervous :(</p>
<p>Bookworm, please do not worry, @Twinzy, your son has really high scores and I am surprised he got rejected. It may be, because he was overly qualified? or perhaps he skipped a major part of the ross application? I am just surprised.</p>
<p>Is the deadline May 15 or May 31? The website says May 15, but the application says May 31.</p>
<p>I would go with May 15th just to be safe.</p>
<p>@Twinzy</p>
<p>It really isn’t because of his stats at all. The only reason why I could imagine them rejecting him is because of his application test or his essays; if he solved <7 of the question on the test, it’d be pretty unlikely for him to get in.</p>
<p>Ope, replying to a question much earlier.</p>
<p>Don’t shoot for a number. Solve as many of the questions as you can, and make sure that you provide every solution that you come up to. Your answer to number 11 is pretty important as well, even though it seems like a BS-able question. Just work hard and try to solve as much as you can, and you’ll find yourself in a good position.</p>
<p>I solved all 10 last year, for what it’s worth. Also…rejection for over-qualification doesn’t exist. Just saying.</p>
<p>i just realized i forgot to solve number 11…SHOOT</p>
<p>edit: is it okay if i emailed it to them?</p>
<p>edit2: heytheredelilah, i just figured out who you are! hi!!! :)</p>
<p>Not including #11, is
-Solving 7 problems completely
-One without the last question answered
-One blank,
-One where you are not sure if you proved the conjecture correctly but you at least noticed the pattern
look good to them?</p>
<p>I think that since you solved 7 completely, that will look good to them, though I’m not sure the blank is too good. But what do I know? I’m about as new to this as you are :p</p>
<p>Writing up the solutions taking me forever though.
8.5 fully written up solutions and 17 pages double spaced on word, LOL, x_x I hope everyone here and I get in ;)</p>
<p>Wait, were we supposed to type up the solutions? SHOOT! I wrote mine on the paper and showed my work on separate paper. The only 2 I typed up were the ones I emailed to them after I learned something new in math class to help me with the problems… Darn it. Now mine probably looks like crap compared to everyone else’s. There goes my 1% chance of possible acceptance…</p>
