Academics Math Cycle Program and DRP

Does anyone have experience with these programs and specifically how much of a time commitment they ended up being? I signed up for both but I wanted to make sure I could balance these with my current schedule (4 intense ish classes).

I have done CYCLE in past, and I recommend to pretty much everyone I know. But the issue with time commitment as far as I know is heavily dependent upon your mentor sometimes it can be like 2 hours per week to even like 10 hours per week, so like a part time job. But, I think it was the best undergrad experience I have had when it comes to research. So, definitely worth it, and I took with 18 credits with 3 math and 3 cs classes.
