PROMYS

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

<p>I sent the final part of my application today. Naturally, I'm pretty nervous. I have a few questions:
Historically, what has been the acceptance rate of PROMYS?
How much of a guarantee is answering all ten questions?
How much worse is it to answer less?
Do not-so great grades on non math/science subjects matter?</p>

<p>Hey, I was a second year student, so you can ask me any questions through pm.
well for your questions:

  1. Acceptance is really vague from what I hear. I do know it is very selective, but then again, not many people apply because it is a math camp :stuck_out_tongue:
  2. answering all ten questions is not a guarentee. I know people who’ve answered 6 or seven who got in, while I’ve heard of others who solved all ten but got rejected.
  3. From what I know, it can be beneficial to show that you don’t know, but that you tried. The questions, from my understanding, is just sort of a judging criteria to see if you can get through six whole weeks of nothing but rigorous math.
  4. I don’t really know about grades, but I would say that grades do reflect the student. Overall, I would say not to worry too much about not-so great grades on other subjects</p>
