^I think you're asking Mollie to shut another thread down...

The general consensus is that qualifying for USAMO is a very nice honor to have and that it certainly impresses many people, but it probably will not guarantee you a spot at MIT or any other top school.

Also, that also plays into how MIT truly is aiming for a diverse student body, not just with race and gender. Don't you think it would be freaky if everyone at your school was a math genius? I would.
