Usamo 2009

<p>Hey. I am pretty sure that I have qualified for the 28 April Usamo. I am an international student. The thing is that i have already applied for the class of 2013. When will results of Aime come oyt?will i have time to notify the schools that i have applied to(harvard,princeton,yale?). Thank you.</p>

<p>P.S.(Anyways,is Usamo that important?Do all Usamo ppl get in ivies?)</p>

<p>I’m fairly sure AIME results won’t be out until the Ivies are already done with their decision-making.</p>

<p>Also, USAMO is not instant admission. There was a USAMO winner on CC who got rejected from Yale. I’m not sure about the other Ivies. Hopefully Harvard likes USAMO people more :D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes. The decisions will be made before the official results are announced.</p>

<p>ok…so i can only use it if i am waitlisted…</p>

<p>I don’t think you can qualify for USAMO as an international student, technically. You have to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.</p>

<p>What you could do, though, is report an unofficial AIME score now. You have the answers you put down, and in a few days you’ll have the official answers. From that, get a score, and report it to schools. Make sure you tell them it’s unofficial, though.</p>

<p>you can qualify but not participate i have heard…</p>

<p>I got an unofficial 11 on Tuesday’s AIME; I just let colleges know about that.</p>

<p>when will aime results be announced?thanks</p>

<p>I think AIME results have already been released, because I already know my score. (v3rt’s 11 totally destroys my 3 but that’s okay :)) </p>

<p>That said, I really don’t think that you can take the USAMO if you’re not from the USA. </p>

<p>This was quoted from the USAMO website: [United</a> States of America Mathematical Olympiad - USAMO](<a href=“http://www.unl.edu/amc/e-exams/e8-usamo/usamo.shtml]United”>http://www.unl.edu/amc/e-exams/e8-usamo/usamo.shtml)</p>

<p>^And 1991: </p>

<p>You can choose to report your AIME score and the fact that you could have participated in the USAMO had you been a US student (Personally, I sent my AIME score to the school that I was waitlisted at, even though I didn’t qualify for the USAMO). But all CCers must understand that qualifying for the USAMO alone will not get you into HYPMS. That said, it is a very impressive feat and amazing accomplishment that you should be proud of. You are among the 500 best high school mathematicians in the USA. Congrats!!!</p>

<p>USAMO > getting into an ivy</p>

<p>that is just sick. I struggle just to get a 1 on the AIME an 11 is insane. Actually I know a person who qualified for USAMO and then was rejected by Ivies and then other top schools. He ended up going to a state university. I am only saying that because it shows that qualifying for USAMO does not mean everything. Winning IMO though, i am pretty sure that is like auto acceptance into most top 20 universities (assuming you have solid GPA and SAT scores, etc.)</p>

<p>^I wish that the MAA would release official results soon, I got an unofficial 10 (after 2 addition errors D=), which should most likely be enough for USAMO (coupled with a 150 AMC).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Same here (I got a 3) … seriously, I just can’t understand how you can get a 11 (or a 10 for that matter, databox) on the AIME or a perfect score on the AMC!! :mad:</p>

<p>DataBox: The USAMO teachers’ manual says they’ll make the selection on or before April 10th, i.e. tomorrow. I would guess they’ll stick to that unless they have a really nasty situation to deal with (like different floors for AIME I and II).</p>

<p>From the news they just released for 2009, TJHSST tops the list again. There will be total of 10 sudents in class of 2010 titled USAMO qualifier… boy, what a competition among the class of itself!
2 of them are three times, 1 is two times.</p>

<p>So people like DataBox DO exist. =D</p>

<p>^Yea … scary isn’t it? </p>

<p>JK But I really admire their ability to think like that math-wise.</p>
