Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

I got admitted to SUMAC 2018. Is it worth $6000? Will it help in my college admissions to a good school?

Thanks

What’s “a good school” mean? Pay-to-play programs are generally not a tip, unless they’re one of the most competitive, a relatively small number get accepted. Stanford won’t give you extra points for attending this.

SUMaC a “Pay-to-play” program - Seriously?? Is a selectivity % of 40 out of 600 applicants not competitive enough in your view?

First of all, congratulations! Short answer to your question is yes, it is worth it. (In my opinion)

I think the question is how much do you love math? It is a very intense program. My son attended SUMaC and it was a life-changing experience for him (in a good way!). The TA’s were phenomenal. A professor from SUMaC provided a rec letter for my son and I believe it helped his college applications although I have no way of knowing for sure.
