Eligibility High school juniors (including home schooled) residing in the United States are eligible,

if they live no closer than 50 miles from Boston. Students residing within driving distance from Boston should apply to the MIT section of PRIMES. Sophomores may be allowed to apply, if they plan to graduate one year early, and can provide a confirmation letter from school.

It is not required but preferable that the applicant meets one of these criteria:

- USAMO or USAJMO qualifier;
- grade A for a college-level proof-based math course (online courses included);
- participation in a summer math program, such as Canada/USA MathCamp, AwesomeMath, HCSSiM, MathILy, PROMYS, Ross Program, or SUMaC, with a letter of recommendation from a counselor;
- a letter of recommendation from a college professor of mathematics

  • 枫下家园 / 望子成龙 / 忍不住又想提醒人了…… 家有牛娃的华人家长们,不要一门心思死推考试竞赛,太多优秀或不那么优秀的华人孩子,挤上这条独木桥。华人孩子通过考试或竞赛进名校的路,越来越难了 +2
    眼界放宽一些,鼓励孩子搞点研究、做几个好项目,效果可能更好。

    比如我介绍过的Primes USA, 孩子在MIT导师的指导下做一年研究。不一定比奥数更难,但是效果更好、更锻炼能力、而且积攒了MIT的人脉
    • 我其实很想说,你推的一个比一个难(进) +9
      • 中文管这个叫:何不食糜? +8
        • 你把肉拿走了营养不够哈。 +3
      • 本来就是推荐给牛娃的,这里有牛娃6年级学大学数学,这样的孩子可以尝试。不会比奥数进国家队更难
        • OK, I got you +1
    • 怎么跟MIT导师接头对上暗号? +4
      • 网上可以找到联系方式 +1

      • 楼主就是故意的, 要是真有这条途径, 各大培训机构早就出手了, 轮到他来通知? +4
        • 只靠培训机构指路是不行的,需要另辟蹊径 +2
      • lz会说数学是preferable。lol +3
      • “participation in a summer math program, such as Canada/USA MathCamp, ...” 对加拿大孩子的门,没有关死,值得一试。当然娃要足够优秀
        • 不竞赛拿名次也去不了这种camp +1
    • 这是凡尔赛吗?没听说过这个Primes,还以为又有一条新路了 +2
      • 我晒什么?提供一个信息而已…… 真不知好歹 +1
        • 本来是表扬你家孩子厉害的,怎么说话这么没礼貌,以后不会回复你的贴了 +1
    • 这个感觉更难,而且现在有种看法,如果孩子过早参加research是刻意build up resume,也是进退两难之举
    • 拜托在美国的家长能不能提前把国家讲清楚啊,搞得我这个加拿大的小心脏上蹿下跳,太不人道了 +3
      • 上肉联还能健心活血,您赚了。 +1
        • 还能健脑,我还在使劲想为啥美国家长不说清楚他在美国?why? +1
    • 哎呀,我们当人生导师的 heat 已经过了的呀,你怎么才来? +1
    • 我一个在美国的大学同学,她儿子现在高中,典型小中理工娃。参加竞赛,学CS,暑假做义工办了个小培训班教初中生学Java. 还跟一个博士生搞research. 她妈表示完全搞不懂她儿子在鼓捣啥。我猜想这样的娃是楼主推荐的 +2
    • 好吧,怪我没有说清楚:建议是给数学牛娃的,6年级学大学数学、进AIME的那种牛娃。别人都散了吧…… +1
      • 天天逗群众玩。 +7
      • 还真符合望子成龙!使劲推吧! +1
      • 难怪没看懂
      • 进aime 之前也得赛amc 8/10/12, 那不还是推竞赛吗?
