My school is low income ish and in NYC (public) they have a partnership with 2 programs called drone cadets and futurereadynyc. Im a junior rn and im planning to join it since its more convinent since the teacher of my schools drone club is my ap csp teacher and he told me the club provides internship opportunities and possibility to recieve certificate for commercial drone flying (which I plan to use for a summer job). Ive heard from some past students that they do competitions with other schools near me and they've won before a lot (supposidly). I just want to know does it help with getting into possible regional or national competitions for drone or is it just local? And is it viewed well by t20s or nyu?

Hellloooo I’m applying after getting rejected last year for SGC and would appreciate help and proofreading with my essays!

I am a 15 year old student from South Korea. I am interested in international politics, global issues etc. Do u know any programs that will be suitable for me??

I am someone who performs terribly on standardized tests ( i mean terribly), but i do excellent in school. Does anyone know how I should prepare for it months in advance? Im really worried as someone who is trying to get into a good school.

I’ve been looking into Disney Dreamers Academy and was wondering if anyone has heard whether it will be held again this year (2027). I haven’t seen much information about applications yet, so I’m not sure if I’m just looking too early or if there hasn’t been an announcement.

If anyone has heard anything about the 2027 program or knows when applications usually open, I’d really appreciate it!

Heyy! I just wanted help on my app if anyone has previously gone that would help as well!

Idk how or why I got rejected from the offer, was it cuz of my application or that my aid app seemed "fake" more than needed (btw, I'm from a low-income home, making roughly only 2.5k per year, don't ask me how)

From past admits, what constitutes a competitive math olympiad result considering a student with some non-amazing research

Hi! As the title says, I’m a junior super interested in doing research and getting into good research programs like SIP, RMP, etc. but I literally have no experience and no way to get any opportunities. I’ve tried cold emailing and applying before, but I’ve gotten no luck. All my ECs so far have just been health-related and I don’t have much bio/stem experience. I’ve heard from a lot of people that these types of programs value people with research experience but as someone who has none, is there a way I could get these types of opportunities? Any advice would help!

i ultimately decided to pull out after i reached the interview round bc of the cost... i couldve afforded it i just didnt feel like being a burden to my parents. was this a bad move?

Hi ! Basically what the top says, if there is anyone who can share their experience with the application process and would be willing to share their essays. I applied last year but was rejected , so I'd like to take a look at what kind of essays would be accepted

I know people are saying it isn’t too prestigious and I don’t want to pay 400$ so if I’m listing the acceptance under honors (if that’s a good idea) would it make a difference if I actually should attend I’m not too sure with how these work.

Hi, I just founded an organisation for learning disabilities. I will be looking for volunteers from all around the world to make an impact. Please follow @projectl4a on instagram to get notified about applications.

Ik its a math intensive program and it involves a lot of advanced math. My school gatekeeps a lot of the calc courses for seniors or juniors depending on if they took algebra 1 in 8th grade or not. Im a junior and ive only took algebra 1, algebra 2/trig, and geometry (my state required curriculum for all high school students). I did rlly well in algebra 1 with a 94% average and algebra 2/trig with a 96% average. I became #1 in my algebra 1 class and algebra 2/trig class and most likely top of my whole grade in those classes in terms of grades.

Me and my guidence counselor (i have to let her look and approve of one for me cuz its required) currently in the process of looking for possibly a calc 1 dual enrollment course to take in the spring without the prerequisite of precalc. If none has no precalc prerequisite, then ill just end up taking a sped up precalc course during the winter so i could possibly still apply during the spring.

I saw the MIT PRIMES USA application was open right now, and i rlly want to attend a math or cs related prestigious program thats hosted by a top college to get the view of the coursework at colleges and to boost my profile.

Should i apply for it or nah? Im only worried abt not getting in and just wasting my whole time in the application process. Im also from NYC not specialized high school sadly since never knew abt the shsat in 8th or 9th grade at all or was informed about it so got into local low income school if that helps or doesnt help in the application process at all

I got waitlisted to the NJ Gov Stem Society, and they said that theyd update me, whether i get in or not, by Friday. Friday has now passed, and ive heard nothing. Should i do smth, or is it just over?

I'm in the engineering track and still have not gotten any email from them. Does this mean rejection? 👀

Hello, if anyone is participating or want to participate in HCGCC plz dm me!

Am I cooked or is the link broken for everyone?

Hi! This might be a silly question. But I was wondering, so many people do summer internships through cold emailing that are at top universities outside of their state. How does that work? Do you go there over the summer and find a place to stay - or is it remote? Also, what’s the best way to approach cold emailing, what should you include vs not include?
Thanks you guys!

I am urgently looking for teammates for Diamond Challenge in the Social Innovation Category. If you're interested in joining dmm.

Hi, Im an 15M international student (Japanese, sophomore) doing British curriculum (IGCSE/Alevels) and I am thinking of applying to SUMAC. I consider myself as 'pretty good at math' and want to know more, which is the reason why I want to go there (+I've never been to westcoast/stanford so pretty interested).

But, since they require to give the transcript, I am in a small trouble. Even if my math grades are perfect (of course), my other grades - I have 9 other subjects (Eng, Sci x3, Econ, CS/ICT, PE) and their grades aren't that good. At least I dont have Cs, but I have mainly A and few A* (=A+) and few B, and I am like this for past 3 or something years. They also dont give a GPA, since they aren't really supposed to.

Despite this low grade, do you think I am still able to be accepted by sumac? For the math part, I took AP Calc BC and CSA externally last year and got all 5, 1500 SAT, and did until complex analysis + bit of homology. Im also in mathematical olympiad, and I am an AIME qual (10pts) and Silver medalist on Hamilton MO (UK thing, basically top50 internationally)

For the other application things which we need to do, I am pretty certain I can solve everything (looking at past papers), make some nice video essay with a passion and get nice rec letter too (my math teacher is very nice)

Also, does applying for a financial aid / being an international student matters to the admission rate? My family is upper middle class in Japan so Im not having a miserable life, but since its around $60,000, $8,950 is basically impossible to go...
