Continuing the discussion from DARPA Funding+Putnam T100 = MIT? [Aerospace Engineering; 4.0 GPA, 760RW/800M SAT, Canadian resident, international for US universities]:

One of the WORST takes I’ve seen in my LIFE. You do know that the average MIT student doesn’t even have anything of the level of olympiads, besides, in the UK grammar school system, there are things called sets for maths. Set 4 has the lowest math ability and Set 1 has the highest math ability. The average set 1 student from my school (top 100 in the UK) would be seen as a god in the US math education system, bear in mind that such a guy would decently get a 9 in GCSE maths, never mind me who got full marks in GCSE maths as well as being regarded as by far the greatest mathematician the school has ever seen even when I was in 9th grade.

Please, just look at the PISA rankings.

Am I wrong?

Let us know when you get your acceptance or rejection.

You’d be better to focus on your applications and not random people on the internet.
