<p>re post #20 referring to post # 59 in a Yale admit thread. The applicant had a 6 on the AIME as a junior. In most years, that would put the applicant in the top 200 juniors nationwide on the AIME. Yale doesn’t attract as many of the top mathematicians as Harvard, MIT, and Princeton do. </p>
<p>I’m only making the point that it wasn’t just the kid’s ECs that got him into Yale.</p>
