I'm sorry to hear that! I heard that math summer program applications were more competitive than usual this year.

Fuck those camps

just saying, im not upset or anything, that was like two weeks ago. i made other plans that would've interfered with the camps a while ago so

on the plus side i get to go to the taylor swift concert

ok, i feel like i should say something: i found not going to a math camp last year more intellectually valuable, at least to me, because i found other interesting things to do. summer internships are incredibly worthwhile to do especially because it gives you a sense of the industry at such a young age.

i was also rejected from pretty much every single math camp last summer. i would recommend doing the euler circle classes over the summer for some sweet math exposure (indep. paper writing is mad fire)

update: i submitted my last and final app! (mathily!) i'm not applying to any others because i'm pretty sure there are none else open. i got rejected from some others- the ones left are mathily and promys (which i think is historically more difficult camp to get into, plus more applicants this year). i'd put my odds for mathily at maybe 10% or less given how many applicants it seems there are for the other camps. and for promys, if i get in, i'll literally pay @Conflux $100 USD.

after the previous two camps, my expectations are lower than low, so uh don't feel bad when i get rejected i guess

@cece oh my god don’t say stuff like that. I’m not taking your money

@cece stop talking about money it gives me war flashbacks

@cece if he won't take your money i gladly will

just fyi you can still apply to mathily

@eulerphi and that's what i'm doing 🙏

@cece good luck!

oh no, what'd you get rejected from?

@Conflux plural

@cece also it should be like 2% or less but i'm broke so

@cece :(

Update (4/11): pretty much decided not to apply to other camps, as procrastinating takes precedence over actual work.

@cece i feel that the investment in https://manifold.markets/cece/will-ithildulin-outperform-me-in-ev is safe

Update (4/3): i submitted my ross, promys, and mathcamp apps all on time. i plan to apply to hcssim (maybe 80% chance), and plan to not apply to mathily (maybe 10% chance) due to a crippling amount of APs.

Dont worry you'll get into Ross

HCSSIM is not a c*mp you dumbfuck

@AlexCao ok top g

oh, also, i finished my mathcamp and promys apps (which were due earlier)

MathILy is amazing! Not many people applying to math camps consider it a first choice but I think the blend of solidifying foundational skills and weird/non-conventional topics allows participants to grow a lot mathematically. Its also a great environment for women and math minorities.

@eulerphi yeah, it's not my first choice either but i'd be really happy to be accepted :)

@iu I went to MathILy--its legit

@pg 2019?
