Greetings MC2 Folks!

While it still feels very much like winter here in Chicago, many families are beginning to think about their plans for Summer math enrichment. There are math programs all over the country, some free, some not. A few admit everyone they can fit, others ask applicants to complete an application, write an essay, or submit a math problem set. The resources below can help you make a choice.

1. Apply to more selective programs early. Many of the programs that have problem set requirements, essays or letters of recommendation have deadlines before spring break.
2. Apply to camps in Chicago after spring break. MC2, UIC YSP, and UChicago YSP tend to have later deadlines than national camps, and the UIC and UChicago websites are usually updated with dates and admissions requirements in March or April. Join the MC2 College Pathways program mailing list to receive application deadline notifications!
