normally don’t post these things but i got accepted to program II (yay first choice!) and i think this would be helpful for other applicants in the future:
attempted 10/10 and only finished 9-9.5/10 of them (don’t know how many I got correct)
good rec letter
essay questions - wrote them in an hour and didn’t proofread…
extracurriculars - some math related (nothing spectacular)
test scores - nothing spectacular
competitions - have been to a few but nothing spectacular

hm honestly i’m not sure how i got in but i think they weigh the admission exam the most (which is what i spent the most time on)

tip: don’t submit at 11:59 pm

Got rejected… Probably wouldn’t have gone anyway, but it did still surprise me.

I did all 10 problems (9.5 were pretty much perfect)
My gpa is 3.97UW at my high school which is a pretty competitive private one.
I have taken 11 college courses including Linear Algebra, Multi-variable Calculus, two semesters of Differential Equations, and Combinatorics and I have a gpa of 4.0 in them.
My letter of recommendation was really good and my written responses were also pretty good.
I am the co-founder of a math club and the founder computer science club. I have done tutoring too.
I hadn’t taken standardized tests (SAT, ACT, etc.) when I applied and I haven’t done any competitions.

What were everyone’s credentials who did get in?

I got waitlisted. Anybody know the chances of me getting in?
