oh, and one more thing, is it be bad if i don’t have a math teacher recommendation as an mmss applicant? i don’t have a problem with my math teacher or anything; it’s just that the other teachers know me better as a person.

and sorry OP for never posting my thoughts about your prospects so here it goes:

Like what other people have said, I think you have a great chance at getting into this program. I don’t think the AP scores will hinder you THAT much as other people are telling you it will be, since the only 3 you got was on an English test. Plus, if you can even get to the AIME level, I think that says something about your mathematical intelligence: some people do not even have a high enough score to qualify for AIME in the first place. So I think that should you get into Weinberg, I think you have a good shot at getting into MMSS. I think we just have to write a kick ass short response in the online webpage. Well, I hope that helps. Best of luck! Let’s hope we both hear good news around late March next year.
