<p>@mathdork thanks for the reply. I’ve only attended Ross and it’s good to hear what PROMYS is like from people who actually went. </p>
<p>Another thing to note is that in 2012 Ross will switch to six weeks because of changes in Ohio State’s academic calendar. I’m not entirely sure how this will change the program but I imagine it will stay fairly similar.</p>
<p>Thanks for explaining how sets are done at PROMYS. How much help do students recieve from their counselors on old problem sets? Are they pointed in the right direction or not given much help? The idea about various threads is interesting. By the end will some students only be working on problems related to one or two threads and ignoring the rest or am I misunderstanding how things are done?</p>
