Georgia GHP for Mathematics

$
0
0
Hello all,

I've recently found out that I will be recommended for the local level of GHP for mathematics. I was just wondering if you guys had any advice or comments about this, and if it is worth it.

Also, try and chance me based on some stats if you can please?
- I am a rising sophomore and I want to be an economics major.
- I am taking AP Calculus AB BC this year, my school offers a block course that we can take in order to finish it in one year
- I have a 4.0 GPA in math for every single course(I got a 91 in Algebra 1/Geometry part A honors, 99 in Algebra II/Geometry part B honors, and will have a 97 in Precalc, which I took online over the summer)
- 100 on both Algebra I and Geometry EOCs
- Participate in math club and quiz bowl/academic team, but have no good achievements for math club. I do have a couple of quiz bowl achievements, including good placings in almost every single tournament involving teams from around the state.
- I am confident I'll get great recommendations from my teacher that is recommending me, as well as good recommendations from my calc teacher.

Hi!

I am interested in applying for AUP's summer program for the 2020 summer. I know they offer 6-week and 3-week courses in a variety of different areas of study.

Has anyone done this program before, know someone who has done it, or just is knowledgeable? I would love to learn more about the types of people there, lifestyle, weekends, etc. It sounds like a really cool program.

I am an incoming freshman in college btw.

Any information is helpful! Thank you!!

I have applied to several programs in the past but only have gotten a handful. I really want to be apart of the Bank of America Student Leaders program but I don't know what will really help me stand out and give me even the smallest edge. This really applies to all summer programs in general tbh. If you guys have any suggestions for programs, please leave them here.

Hi,
I am applying to the BU Rise Practicum track and the first essay topic (300 words) is why do i want to study computational neurobiology. I would like to tie this in to my work with autistic kids and how that relates to brain function. How would I start an essay with this kind of topic? Should I get straight to the point or should i begin with maybe an anecdote?

Has anyone heard of or been apart of the USC Bovard Scholars Program? It seems like a great opportunity but I can't find any information on how difficult is to be accepted, and I'd also love to hear about past experiences. Thanks! (Not sure if this is the right forum, but it has a three-week summer program aspect? Wasn't sure where else to post)

Hi,

I am an international student interested in applying to the Research Science Institute and have noticed that the page states that international students have their own selection procedure and schedule. I'd like to hear from international students who have previously applied to RSI: did you fill in the application on the page or contacted CEE and followed a completely different application procedure? Any help and further details will be very much appreciated!
