SigmaCamp 2024: How to Apply

To apply to SigmaCamp 2024, you have to complete the steps of the application process listed below. The application deadline is April 15, 2024. We will notify all applicants no later than May 5, 2024.

If you want, you can apply to both programs. In this case, you must submit solutions for both SigmaCamp 2024 Qualification Quiz (QQ) and SigmaCamp Next 2024 Entrance Exam (EE), as well as two separate essays. The recommendation letters can be shared between two applications. For those who want to apply only to SigmaCamp Next 2024, please go here

 

1. Create an account

You need only one account for all applications and submissions on our website.
If you already have an account (from previous years or POM), skip this step and log in to your existing account at the bottom of the page. If you want to apply to both programs, you need only one account for both applications.

 

2. Start the application

Fill a very short form telling us to which camp you are applying. Please do so as soon as possible, even if your plans can change - there is no obligation.

 

3. Tell Us About Yourself

Write a short essay telling us all about you and what you are interested in.
You need to be logged in to your account to access this page.

 

4. Get Recommendation Letters

Only new applicants must provide two letters of recommendation from a math/science teacher.
Returning campers can skip this step. Winners of the Problem of the Month contest (POM) who have been notified by email can skip this step.

 

5. Solve Qualification Quiz (QQ)

The Qualification Quiz (QQ) consists of Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Linguistics problems. You are NOT expected to solve all the problems - try to do what you can! You may use the internet or get help from someone else, just cite your sources.
Winners of the Problem of the Month contest (POM) who have been notified by email can skip this step.

 

Good Luck!
