<p>My question applies not only to MIT but to the Ivies, Stanford, etc, but I posted it here because you guys talk about the AMC tests the most.</p>
<p>I got a 5 (obviosly unofficial at this point) on the AIME and was wondering if that's even worth putting on the app when the time comes (I got a 115 on the AMC 12)</p>
<p>you mean next year, right? It's too late for this year.</p>
<p>5 is a good score (the average is 2-3) and the MIT app has a place for it. I would put it down.</p>
<p>Have you ever heard of an AMC score getting lost in the mail? Could I put it on my college application unofficially? Could I have the teacher that administered it sign it for verification?</p>
<p>What's considered a "good" AIME score for MIT/Caltech?</p>
<p>I'd say 4+ is good simply because only about 30% of the AIME takers score 4 or more. The AIME test takers are also some of the better math students so yea.</p>
<p>How do you submit ACM/AIME scores?</p>
<p>If you applied online, theres a page where it asks for AMC and AIME scores for two years.</p>
<p>I got a 4. Should I report it to my colleges (obviously not to MIT)? I am quite discontent with this score though.</p>
<p>I'd say report it because that is a respectable score. Getting to take the AIME alone is an accomplishment.</p>
<p>Two national merit finalists and valedictorians at my IB school barely managed a 2 and 1 so a 4 is definitely noteworthy. (My IB school is made of 3 public high schools, hence 2 valedictorians)</p>
<p>Is it too late to report to any college? College decisions are in a couple of days or weeks.</p>
<p>Yes it probably is, but just go ahead and fax it in anyway with a nicely worded note explaining why you decided to do what you did in terms of why you mailed it, etc.</p>
