BTW I don't think it's a good idea to compete in AMC/AIME/USAMO series ONLY for college purposes... I have qualified twice for USAMO and it didn't really help me that much(rejected from Caltech, Duke, and Cornell this year).

^0.0 no way.

btw i dont think its possible to not love math and force yourself to do all that practice to qualify in order to get into college.

it would either be pure torture, or you would have to be a genius.

GPA : 4.05/5.0 weight scale (rank at HS = like 16%?)
SAT: 2150 (800/660/690, yeah I am bad at English)
SAT II's: 800 Math II/ 800 Chemistry

See my stats aren't great for the top colleges, and USAMO will not really help you much if your stats aren't very high

no, unless he/she had a 134 on the 12 (i know not possible score but lets just say)
or was a sophmore or below and got a 132 on the 10
but it will still help. i hope.

just taking the AIME doesnt hurt you. Doesnt really help much, but qualifying for it is something that shoulld be reported. Its like a 800 SAT - gives you a minor, minor boost. I would kill for a 7 on the aime, and it would be a shame if you dint report
