Yeah, so there’s this one kid that goes to a nearby school. MOP in freshman, sophomore, and junior years, and I think he made USAMO in 8th grade. Probably going to be on the IMO team this year. I defy you to tell me that kid isn’t going to college anywhere he wants (at least any college of the techie sort).

EDIT: Oh, he also got a perfect AIME last year (his junior year). and missed one question on the AMC12. It’s maddening, I tell you.
