Olympiads and AMCs

<p>Thanks for the advice. I’ll just e-mail a few other schools in my area and then return to my school if none of them reply (and yes, there is actually proctoring service, for a fee. But then, considering that collegeboard tests often cost just as much as amcs and that amcs are much more important in a decision than sat scores once I get into te margin, I won’t mind paying $60 for the test). Definitely, I shouldn’t procrastinate. </p>

<p>Well, most of the community is proud of my school’s ‘academic excellence,’ so decrying the school for its lack of support for academic ambition isn’t really an option since it’ll just result in my being ostracized from the teachers (and even though none of them will provide me support outside of class material, I still need their recs).</p>
