<p>Hi everyone. Should I mention my AMC/AIME score if I have only managed 112.5/4? I realize that 112.5/4 cannot compare to USAMO/IMO qualification, but would the admissions officers rather see a modest showing or no performance at all?</p>
<p>An aphorism that might apply to this thread: "It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."</p>
<p>P.S. Please do not carp on the erroneous representation of pi; I realize that I typed several extra digits when selecting my username.</p>
<p>Don't write your specific score, just write you were AIME- eligible or w/e, or if you were a high scorer in your school.</p>
<p>4 is GOOD. That's probably average for MIT.</p>
<p>And 112.5 is nothing to be ashamed of.</p>
<p>And MIT applicaions have a space for the tests. It would look suspicious if you said you took the tests but you didn't write down the scores.</p>
<p>Actually... I don't believe that's a good idea. That may be "average," as stated above, but it's "average." Realize that there are many others with higher AMC scores. My two cents.</p>
<p>Honestly, my feeling is that since most applicants don't even take the tests, writing down any score is a bit of a bonus.</p>
<p>If you'd like a more definitive answer, you could post it on Matt</a> McGann's blog and get it answered by an actual admissions officer at MIT.</p>
