<p>If I qualify for AIME I mean? I missed it by one question last year…I was the only one in my school to come so close to qualifying soo…I’ll make sure I’ll qualify this year!!</p>

2

<p>When will the scores come out? MIT generally goes into selection committee in mid- to late February, so any updates that come after that point will not be seen prior to selection.</p>

<p>Scores usually come out in early to mid-February.</p>

<p>^Yes. I can probably get my results known by this Tuesday…and then I can mail in my score the same day.</p>

<p>Also, is it alright if I can send in an extra third recommendation from my fencing coach? Thanks Mollie.</p>

<p>Wait… the AMC 12A hasn’t even happened yet. It’s in two days. The AMC 12B (which I’m taking) isn’t until February 24. How are you going to get your scores on the same day?</p>

<p>AMC 12 A is in two days. I always copy my answers and I contact the math dept head chair. He has the solutions.</p>

<p>I can inform MIT of my unofficial scores. I don’t have to wait till I officially get the badge and the AIME invite.

I CAN do this yes? lol.</p>

<p>As a gut instinct, I would say no… but you could always try.</p>

<p>That’s weird though. Our school math department chair refuses to give us the answer booklet until at least a week after the test.</p>

8

<p>^Thanks, but its rather an important thing at my school. I’d rather wait for mollie’s response.</p>

<p>Even if you end up qualifying for the AMC it probably won’t help that much since you were already pretty close which is really good. Like, even if you got a perfect, I doubt it’d effect your application significantly.</p>

10

<p>Gr! I have no school tomorrow and that means I can’t do the AMC (our school doesn’t offer the B-form, no idea why).</p>

11

<p>This reminds me, I’d better practice …</p>

12

<p>it will make no difference. to be “good” at math in MIT’s eyes, you should be scoring high on the AIME, not struggling to qualify.</p>

13

<p>You certainly can inform MIT of your unofficial score.</p>

<p>Whether it’s useful, whether they would take an unofficial score into consideration, and what the marginal difference is between almost qualifying in the past and unofficially qualifying, I obviously cannot tell you.</p>
