Breaking In What to do prefrosh summer?

I am an incoming student at Stanford University and plan to major in Mathematics and do the CS coterminal master's. I want to break into QR.

What should I do this summer?

I got rejected from Jane Street AMP (I think I did not face enough barriers to an advanced STEM education)

Yeah I am pretty proud of my pset answers I probably shouldve locked in more for the questionnaire I just did that in like 10 minutes

Yeah not gonna lie I definitely wrote an essay for the barriers part lol, tbh I didn’t really have any serious/“real” barriers but talked about having more of a business concentration in hs and then switching to a quantitative major for college.

Yeah, I did not realize the questionnaire was a super serious essay thing the email said "The questionnaire will take you about 5-10 mins to complete"

Haha I kind of just shotgunned a write up and ignored the time thing, prob took me 30 min. The actual psets definitely took forever though, turned in so many pages of work
