<p>hm so i'm like going into ninth grade next year, and i want to do some awesome summer program. some stuff to know.</p>
<p>-i did a college course on physics this year, but it was really... boring. i learned quite a bit, but i didn't like it. at all. and it wasn't calculus based.
-preferably a summer program where you get to reside there for a while :)
-i had applied and got into awesomemath summer program this year. however, my parents didn't let me go because they thought it was too far (i applied for the ca one, and i live in de). i really wish i went, as it just started now and it looks so fun. i'm sure i can convince them to let me go far next year... maybe. probably. hopefully :] so i don't care about the distance for now, but i'll take into consideration closer ones instead. maybe i'll apply to the tx one next year..
-preferably a math/science summer program
-some programs i thought about were promys, mathcamp, ross, amsp, mathzoom, etc. however, you can tell i need more because i'm making this thread. it's just that... doing a science program might also help... and my parents would probably like a science program more too. i need their approval mainly for any summer programs.
-i got a 111 amc10 this year, and a double digit ranking at mathcounts nationals (still failed though). however, i am confident i can make aime through the amc10 next year. if that helps (with admissions or something, dunno)?
-i like math.
- i'm going to be 14 my freshman year & next summer, if that helps somehow (i dunno).
-i'm a guy (yeah idk, so i dont get recommended any girl camps or something?)
-after reading a bit, i want it to be a summer program where i can come back feeling that i've learned something, yet had fun. not one, or the other. both.
-and i don't care about how it looks on college apps.</p>
<p>anything else i should say?
and don't ask why i'm up at 5 am. i have my reasons.</p>
<p>MathCamp I think like alternates coasts or something, but I’m not sure where it will be next year. PROMYS is in Boston, and ROSS is in Ohio State, and both are good math camps, and HSHSP is in Michigan State, and is a pretty good research camp.</p>
<p>Not many people from out of state attend COSMOS because it is $4000 as compared to the $2000 in state people have to pay. My friend went and she said that there were people from New York and Texas etc…</p>
<p>Yes, it’s probably just publicized more in Michigan because it’s in Michigan State, which isn’t very prestigious.</p>
<p>And the AMC 10 only requires knowledge up to Geometry, and is also designed for ninth graders in mind too. It also can be kind of hard to qualify for AIME with AMC 10 for some people. I know a guy who didn’t qualify for AIME for 2 to 3 years, but once he took the AMC 12, qualified very easily.</p>
<p>what’s the math camp called?
also, a lot of 8th graders study ahead too :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>it’s called living in the fail state of delaware, heh. plus, i was stupider back then D:</p>
<p>and @ fairy_dreams & shravas: i just asked to make sure i’m not in an awkward position or anything. but it’s cool that other people not in-state go there :D</p>
<p>I think the only summer camps MIT offers are WTP, MITES, and RSI, and math can be a part of any of them, but I’m pretty sure that MIT doesn’t have a just math camp.</p>
<p>darn, rsi is for upcoming 11th graders, wtp is for women, and mites is for minorities (which i am not).</p>
<p>and i doubt i’d be able to go to cosmos now that i think about it, cause $4K is a lot for my parents to pay, especially if they saw that in-state people get it cheaper.</p>
<p>hm so uh so far, i’m thinking of applying to
MathCamp, AwesomeMath, PROMYS, ROSS, and HSHSP.
i know i could most likely get into AMSP anyway.</p>
<p>dang yeah, i’d wanna do red mop, but i doubt i could even make usamo. i’m aiming for usajmo, but i have no idea how selection from usajmo even works, and i still doubt i’d have a chance.</p>
