Six weeks of collaborative, proof-based mathematics well past the standard curriculum.
Our take
Less known than PROMYS or Ross, similarly serious. Good option if those say no.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
