<p>Since it has rolling admissions that started in the beginning of March, would it be bad if I send in my application in the middle of April?</p>
<p>Sending in the application in the middle of April after you work on it thoroughly would be more appreciated than rushing through it to send it sooner. An application in April is still definitely timely. Not all students have the same schedule of school breaks or other scheduling issues in the spring. </p>
<p>Good luck in your application.</p>
<p>i applied last year in late may and still got in. its very lax about the deadline as long as your qualified</p>
<p>Thanks for the reminder that there is still time to apply to Ross Mathematics Program 2009.</p>
<p>Many thanks for the good advice</p>
<p>Thanks for the good advice</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we’ll find out if we got in? Is it after the May 30th deadline, or after they decide to admit you?</p>
<p>My son applied about three weeks ago and already got an email acceptance. They did say that they wouldn’t be sending out packets till May, though.</p>
<p>BTW, thanks to TokenAdult, for your posts about this program. They were very helpful to us.</p>
<p>Thanks for posting the information about when you received news. I didn’t answer that question, because I know my son didn’t apply until near the end of the rolling admission period the first year he went to Ross, so I have no idea how long the typical wait for news is.</p>
<p>Is there an age of the general student there? I am a rising junior. Would I feel old at this?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You would fit right in with a lot of other students at Ross.</p>
<p>Wow, I meant rising senior. Sorry. Still the same answer?</p>
<p>Yes, members of class of 2010 will fit in just fine at Ross 2009. </p>

<p>Posting a reply just to ask if any CCer has heard about getting into Ross yet.</p>
<p>Does one actually conduct research in number theory via the Ross Program?</p>
<p>One works on problem sets related to elementary number theory in the manner of doing mathematical research on a topic previously not understood.</p>
<p>But the answers are known, so it isn’t much of a “discovery” if you get the problem sets correct then…</p>
<p>I’m doing a math research right now, and breakthrough in any field of mathematics is very, very rare. I’m also hoping to be at some place in summer where I can work on research with an expert. Any recommendations?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Does it matter to you what subject you research, or is any area of math equally interesting to you?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s a discovery for you if you don’t already know the result and its proof. If you’d rather do something else, what would be the channel for doing that? </p>
