<p>for prequisites, can I send them my college transcript, and/or highschool transcripts to verify my placement?</p>
<p>EPGY's requirements are not like college requirements, because it is a program for elementary and secondary students. See the application</a> and registration page on the EPGY site for more details. You're near the maximum age for program participation at age seventeen.</p>
<p>Tony - as long as you have the pre-requisites (the site will tell you what they are) for whatever class you want, just sign up. I think they use the honor system because I never had to send in a transcript. I don't think there is an age limit if you're taking university-level calc/ analysis, etc.</p>
<p>ok, thanks you two. JC, that's what I'm planning to take.</p>
<p>I appreciate the feedback.</p>
<p>There's the senior at my school who's been accepted to Harvard taking one or two class through there as well.</p>
<p>Damn, Stanford is really expensive.</p>
<p>um...they have college courses as well (for maths)</p>
<p>When i was signing up for multivariable calculus, they said that an AP calc bc grade was required. However, i never had to submit mine, since for some reason my name was already in their directory.</p>
<p>hehe you dont need to submit it. i made a 5 but i never mailed it in and took it anyway.</p>
<p>Is it really worthwhile? 2 summer courses at a local university will cost me about $2500, but the question is, will other schools (MIT, Caltech, Stanford, etc..) consider these courses (at EPGY)? I mean what's the difference in doing that or self-studying?</p>
<p>if you are interested..just do it.
its a lot of proofs...they say its formal, but its semi-formal.
and i guess it shows that you have engaged yourself in higher learning
either way...if you like math...go for it.
ask for finaid.</p>
<p>how good does it look for stanford?</p>
<p>take it only if you like it; otherwise don't be wasting your money.</p>
<p>I agree smiliekat - I love EPGY, but there is tons of homework so I would have given it up just for that if I didn't love the class itself. They don't really check the hw, but it's easier to get through whatever comes next if you've really done it. Hw just takes a long time, and some of it seems useless, ... but then sth pops up and you realize it wasn't that useless.</p>
<p>haha which "mentor" did you have?</p>
<p>Jonathan :)</p>
<p>Did you guys take MV Calc and Modern Physics? AND how much did it take you to finish it? Thanks!</p>
<p>i had marc. i was supposed to have jon though, but he left. he sounded cool (er) hehe. i never really collaborated with my mentor.
it's not hard h88, if you like the subject
it just requires self-discipline. i finished 2/3 of the course in the first 2 months, but waited for 4 months before i started my last 1/3. lol...so its all a matter of discipline!
as far as how much? errrr.....depends on how good you are at math.
the tests are 3 hours long, but most of them are proofs.</p>
<p>Thanks smiliekat. Yeah, I really like the subject so that won't be a problem!</p>
<p>I was also wondering, did you get a grade? Isn't' there any sort of exam in the end?</p>
<p>three tests and thats all that counts for your grade
got an a</p>
<p>I'n in it and taking multivariable calc, I'm taking the final tomorrow</p>
