My son is a sophomore and will be attending the second session number theory class. We don’t know much about the program but had researched summer programs for a while and this one seemed to have the best topics that interested him, a good schedule, and decent price (compared to others). Plus he liked that it was virtual since he wasn’t interested in going out of state to attend one of these programs just yet. As far as stats, I’d say he’s a strong student but definitely not taking advanced math courses like some math wizzes out there. He’s in algebra 2 and does math competitions. Plus does a few other school activities which he wrote about in his personal statement. During quarantine he got into stock trading on the Robin Hood app which led to him to conceive the idea to start a stock trading club at his school this year so he talked about that. He did take the SAT this fall so he submitted his scores. But like you, we’ve been wondering what the acceptance rate is. It took a long time for his teacher’s rec letter to get sent, but once that was sent, my son got a response fairly quickly. Hope this info helps.
