same!
2^k + (k+1) is exactly what I did actually.
Assuming you also used the Second Principle of Mathematical Induction
But hey at least your 2nd questionās solution works right. Right ?
I just received an email from Sumac. Is it a good sign? Or it just sent out to everyone?
SUMaC: Session Availability
Hello XXXX,
Thank you for submitting your application to Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) for summer 2025. The application review process is almost complete. This is a reminder to notify Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies if your availability for the program dates has changed.
Your Session Availability
Online Session 1: June 16 - July 4
Residential Session 1: June 22 - July 18

Your Next Steps
- If you are still available for the session dates listed above, no action is necessary.
- If you are no longer available for a session listed above, reply to this email and confirm which session you are not available for.
I got it too lol. I think itās sent to everyone lol
yea i think its sent to everyone
Any idea when decisions coming out? I donāt think I got in but it would be nice to know when it would be
There is an admitted SUMaC page that I managed to stumble across, and on it there was a section on āEnrollment Steps,ā which said that we had to confirm enrollment (Iām assuming this site is for SUMaC Online) by April 18, 2025. I pointed this out in a thread somewhere else, and the page got taken down the next day, which is certainly interesting.
Iām assuming that for SUMaC online, youāll have a week or so to confirm enrollment and pay tuition, so my guess would be April 11, 2025 at 7-9PM EST (based off previous years).
Again, this is purely speculation and SUMaC should be releasing an email around a week before the actual decision date, so Iād probably wait for that instead.
Alright thanks. To those admitted in the past, before the decision date did they send like āhintsā or like youād see things on your decision page if you were likely to get accepted. Iāve heard summer programs/colleges doing this so was curious if SUMAC does something similar

wdym by hints
I think the results will be out in the next 24 hours. This is because the payment/decision deadline is April 18 and based on historic data, students are given approximately 2 weeks to decide/make the payment. Does anyone agree or has received their decision?
I have not received a decision yet nor does it look like itās coming tomorrow because itās a weekend. I do think it may come next week for sure though.
i dont think they do hints xd
bro im so cooked, sumac decisions are 100% gonna be released in the next 5 days. Good luck to everyone i hope amey_bharambe the goat gets in
Ok lil bro thanks for the glaze lol. I can assure I am not getting in (unless I accidently become the GOAT). But I am sure that xok will most definitely get in.
Yesterday I didnāt have access to the enrollment steps page but today I do with the payment deadline. I think you might be right especially because in the past 2 years it came on Friday
I did something very similar to you, especially question 4 I also used induction and invented some notations. For question 2 tho, I did something different. I noticed each rotation an even order permutation and the (A,B) is odd, and just said it is impossible essentially
Just discovered this forum lol, wish everyone good luck one Friday!

did any of you guys apply for any other summer programs??
I applied Wolfram, HSMC, SUMAC, BU RISE, UCSB SRA, and a Local Lab with 1% acceptance rate. So far 3 decisions and 1 acceptance (Wolfram), 1 waitlist/defer (HSMC), 1 reject (BU RISE). I fear I may be getting a 2nd rejection soon (SUMAC)
