The most successful students from my school haven't been USAMO qualifiers. Not to say the USAMO qualifiers here arn't good students, but last year's USAMO qualifier (now at CMU), and this year's 2 new USAMO qualifiers are frankly very good at math but don't have much to their names in other respects. In the case of the latter 2 USAMOers still at my high school, they are like the kid from Big Brother's story: recently-immigrated Chinese students who do well because of their upbringing in China, but who will probably not demonstrate very high proficiency with CR or W on the SATs.
