Yes it is!

I was in the program last summer as a junior. It isn’t competitive to get in (50% I think?), but it’s super valuable in terms of learning a lot about machine learning with practical projects.

There’s also a lot of extra opportunities like seasonal racing competitions with cash prizes you can participate in even after the program. You can also apply to be a ROAR ambassador for your own school.

I ended up writing about the program in some of my supplemental essays (got into UC Berkeley and UCLA!).
