If this is true, amazing shot at all schools. If not, prepare yourself... Anyone who claims USAMO crap on CC and is actually a fraud is discovered in under a day, generally.

USAMO-- whoa you're stellar!

Well, if all this continues, no doubt you will get into MIT, I'm a sophomore, but you seem to fit inot all the stuff they look for .

Thanks... but i still have a question that even i've done some research online, i had found that someone explain Gpa in point scale as 4.0 as to 100 average, but some others explain as to 95... and MIT's average GPA for application are 3.89, so what is it actually??
