Matherscize Summer Math Camp for Girls

What to expect in the process

 


  1. After completing the application process, please look for a confirmation page to assure your application was submitted.  If you do not see the confirmation page your application has not been submitted; retry completing the application.

  2. After completing the camp application, look for an email confirmation for the receipts of the application sent to both the applicant and the parent.  If the receipt had not been received within 7 days, please contact matherscize@osu.edu.

  3. You will need transportation daily.  We do very little arranging of ride shares, although it is sometimes done with girls coming from the same school.  These arrangements are better handled within your own school or friends group.

  4. Please understand that participants are expected to attend every day of the 5-day camp.  Activities are collaboratively completed and build upon each other from one day to the next, or are connected across the days.  Missing a day hurts not only the participant's work, but also the work of her whole group.  If you need to miss a day because of some other activity, it would be best not to apply this year, and instead find a year that better suits your schedule.

  5. Although parents and family members are welcome to visit at any time during the camp, the lunches are rather structured and are not a good time to expect the camper to stop and visit with family.

  6. Please ensure all parts of the application have been completed before the deadline, as completed applications are the only applications considered for acceptance to Matherscize.

  7. Please note that this is an application, not a registration.  Many girls apply.  Of those, we select the actual camp participants on a first-come-first-served basis in conjunction with grade levels and schools.  A successful camp depends on a diverse group of participants.  It is important to apply early.

  8. Look for an email notifying you of the status of your application in mid June.  Since that will be sent via email, and no other notification will be sent, please be certain to inform us at matherscize@osu.edu should you change your email address after completing the application.  You will be informed of whether you have been accepted, waitlisted, or if accepted, will receive further details.

  9. If availability changes and you are no longer interested attending camp, please contact us matherscize@osu.edu.

  10. During the process, please direct all questions to matherscize@osu.edu.
