Intensive number-theory program in the PROMYS tradition (PROMYS grew out of Ross). Aid available.
Our take
"Think deeply about simple things." The admissions problems are the point; spend real time on them.
“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.
