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).
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
