HiPeople

Yea I dont think it was to continue the discussion on a specific person (like what happened in the other thread), but I think the OP finds it very surprising that not just Godot, but multple USAMO qualfiiers, get outright rejected to MIT every year...(maybe he can respond?)

Anyhow, whatever his intention was, my last sentence in my prior post is my take on it.

"One person's situation is not like another person's situation." It is basically impossible to predict/talk about MIT admissions process without actualy being an adcom.

Its basically impossible to speculate why multiple USA_O qualifiers get rejected but someone who has no idea what the AMC/never done any research gets accepted.

EDIT: I cant seem to find it now, but I know MIT does a good job with keeping track of data of all of its applicants (they have information on their webpage of average SAT score of acceptance...). I once found a page where they have checkmarks on which things were very important, important, considered...on a person's app. Maybe its better to look at that than to speculate.
