College Confidential - View Single Post - MIT Admissions Have Become A Complete Joke

I read through the posts, and I think USAMO qualifiers should get into MIT. Maybe not CalTech, because CalTech only takes 200. But MIT's class of 1000 should have room for the roughly 100 USAMO qualifiers that graduate each year. (About 160 qualify each year, but I'm assuming that at least some of them are underclassmen.) If the person gets a GPA with only a couple of "B's" and the rest "A'"s, then admission should be automatic.

Those that disagree with me probably have no idea what USAMO is or what it means.
