Sorry if this question is too naive, but what are those prestigious math camps that are extremely hard to get accepted? |
Just a personal preference, I would rather my kid be at a summer intern at a research institute than in a prestigious math camps (even though they maybe hard to get in)

What a weird comment to make without explaining yourself. Do you think your children are your dolls? |

I don't think this linked camp is among those most prestigious ones. The most competitive ones include Canada/USA math camp (mostly for MOPPERS), PROMYS, SUMaC, and Ross math program. They are not cheap, but they not the "cash-cow" programs but really selective and highly-regarded camps. They all offer financial aid if needed. Some camps do offer research mentorship for math topics. |
Hampshire is absolutely top tier. It's on every list and its also one the oldest, maybe the oldest one still running. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampshire_College_Summer_Studies_in_Mathematics |
Wow, that was defensive. How does “did that program meet the requirements?” Get interpreted as “that program can’t possibly have met the requirements?” Interesting that it is a legit program when so many “residential summer programs aat universities” are not. Congrats to your kid. I hope you aren’t this persnickety in person. |
