Frequently Asked Questions
Featured Scholars
The program really helped me understand how I think and learn. The metacognition course, in particular, focused on learning how to learn—introducing new study strategies and encouraging us to reflect on our own experiences.
I remember thinking, “Why am I doing math in the summer?” But in the end, it really paid off. For me and a lot of my peers who went through the program, we felt a step ahead going into our freshman year.
We had a metacognition course, which was super helpful for building study skills, managing our time, prioritizing sleep, things like that. It really helped us develop good habits early on.
My experience was really positive. I felt very welcomed, especially seeing others who came from similar backgrounds or had faced similar struggles.
I really enjoyed getting to meet faculty and connect with some of the higher-ups at the university. I think that’s always a valuable experience. Being exposed to all of that, before the big crowds, the heavy workload, and everything else—was really beneficial, I’d say.
