112.5 / 2? (this year)
103 / unknown (0 or 1?) last year (reported)
Accepted Early Action
Oh, and I resent the term "abilities." I can do math, really. I just... don't like this math. Especially the AIME.

why limit it to the AIME/AMC etc? Why not just go all out with SAT Math, SAT Math 1C/2C? Maybe even math class grades?

the AMC/AIME/USAMO, although some people dont like to admit it, is perhaps the best gauge of mathematical talent in the United States. No other competition tests your ability to reason creatively in mathematics as thorougly.
I had some pathetic scores in other years, but I'm pretty confident that this year I made USAMO taking the expansion into account

136/9/??..................Accepted RD

well, this really have NOTHING to do with reflecting ability, i think of that too....
just to make one point, carelessness may change ur score by 3 or 4 points on the aime, which is ALOT.
and list your sat if you want, but just thinking that most applicants score very high on sat math anyways

yeah i mean the difference in math is stupid... i've taken the SAT like 3 times since junior year and my score fluctuate by 70 points!
its stupid like how your stomach feels that day has more to do with ur score than actual ability.

accepted.
probably shouldn't have included it in my application, but I did, and maybe the stupidity of that was what got me in.
(yeah, thats 0.5 points above the cut-off)

AMC 118.5 AIME 7 (I somehow dislike those AMC stuff) USAMTS Silver SAT I 800 SAT IIC 800 Calc BC 5
Mult variable calc, linear algebra, blah blah blah
This thread clearly shows that there is no such thing as "guarantee" score for MIT, although if you are the perfect scorer on AIME, that would be sweet.
Oh, did I say that i got rejected (bam!) as an international?

AMC 12 (Highest score) - 136.5
AIME (Ditto) - 10
USAMO - Never took. Can't sit that long.
SAT I - 800
SAT IIC - 800
AP Calc BC - 5
Multivariable, Linear Algebra, Diff Eq, Modern Algebra - A
Accepted early. I think there's not too much correlation, although 100 on AMC 12 is a good score, I think, relative to average intelligence, so maybe it IS important somehow?
