According to our records, we have now sent e-mail responses to everyone who applied for admission for the 2018-2019 academic year.
If you applied and have not received a response, please let us know by sending us an e-mail.
This year we had twice as many students apply to our Intermediate class as we had room for. This forced us to turn away many qualified students. If you have any questions please let us know and we will respond as best we can.
Here are links to the monthly contest problems from 2016-2017. These questions were prepared by Joshua Ngotiaoco and Catherine Yao — former students of San Jose Math Circle. Instructions are included with the problem set.
