<p>I just read my school news that my friend scored 99.9% nationally on AMC 10 and he scored the highest score in state(southern). Does it mean my friend made almost perfect score on it? Or just 99.9 out of 150? But it doesn't say he qualified for AIME.
Also, does taking AMC/AIME/USAMO guarantee getting accepted to MIT, Havard or other top universities? </p>
<p>132+ belongs to top 1% in 2014.</p>

<p>150 is a perfect score and AMC a recognition for that.</p>
<p>Does that mean he qualified for AIME?</p>
<p>Yes. Top 2.5% qualifies for AIME.</p>
<p>There is no guarantee. But if you have high AMC scores or qualify for USAMO, you will be more likely admitted to selective colleges. All 7 USAMO qualifiers I know in my area were admitted at least to 1 highly selective college. </p>
