<p>Thanks UMTYMP student this was really helpful!</p>
<p>Now in response to your private message to me (I prefer doing it here as it is easier and can maybe help others in the future)</p>
<p>Yes thank you! However, there is something else that I wanted to ask. I am in the exact same situation as xanthosis112 was a year ago. I’m planning to apply to a few math programs and also the cosmos science camp in the UCs for summer 2013. However, as I am only in 9th grade I am sort of unsure as what to do. I want to apply to several so that I will hopefully have something to do in summer but the same goes for the next three summers.</p>
<p>I guess my real question is: can you re-apply after being rejected, or, it accepted, can you chose deferred entry for next year or at least politely decline and re-apply next year as it it were your first year?</p>
<p>Thank you again</p>
