Ross 2011

<p>The official thread for OSU's Ross Program in 2011.</p>

<p>i’m applying</p>

<p>I’m planning on applying, too. Anyone know when the application is going to be up?</p>

<p>the site claims some time in January, idk when, and I heard that they will be downsizing on the amount of kids accepted, to only accept the quality kids… meaning the kids that just wasted time working out last year,</p>

<p>anyone know about the qualifications of the instructors??</p>

<p>The instructors are professors either at OSU or nearby colleges.</p>

<p>The application is on their website now</p>

<p>Yes!!! Many famous problems here, so will have to be ultra competitive and show multiple reasons and interesting side conjectures to supplement these problems,</p>

<p>Has anyone completed their application yet?</p>

<p>No, I did my quiz though, and am going to finish it up soon, :D</p>

<p>I’m nervous in regards to my application. I’m going to be a young rising sophomore, and got some sort of solution to 7 of the problems, but no luck on one of them. I feel like everyone else is older than I who’s applying. In addition, I’m only in A2, not even precal.</p>

<p>lol, that’s fine, your math course means nothing because number theory is so different from anything you learned in school. I’d recommend researching pigeonhole for one of the problems, :)</p>

<p>Can someone rephrase the area problem, please? I don’t understand the problem.</p>

<p>You should work on the problems individually. If you need clarification on the problems email the Ross program at ross @ math.ohio-state.edu (no spaces in the actual email)</p>

<p>EDIT: Also while number theory is very different from the math you have probably taken in school, expience with proofs although not strictly neccesary is very helpful.</p>

<p>I’ve been accepted to Ross Program 2011!
I sent in my application earlier this week and I just received my acceptance email!
I think it really helped that I applied early as so many people advised.
Has anybody else applied and has anybody else heard back yet?</p>

<p>sjet10: congratulations! I haven’t submitted my application yet. Are you an international?</p>

<p>ConcreteVitamin:
I don’t know… Is there a place to indicate if I’m an international or not?
And thank you!</p>

<p>sjet10, I suppose people living outside of U.S. are considered as internationals.</p>

<p>ConcreteVitamin, if this helps, I am a international, who goes to school in the states… I think I put my permanent address as my home address (which is outside of us) and school address as one in the us.</p>

<p>sjet10, if you don’t mind:</p>

<p>(1) Do you only include complete, rigorous solutions to the problems, or also include the process of tackling those?
(2) How much attention do you pay on the recommendation and essay questions?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>… and (3) Do you include multiple ways in the solutions?</p>
