<p>what's a good solid score adcoms will be impressed by?
AMC:
AIME:
if not qualified for USAMO.</p>
<p>100+ is considered passing i think. but its hard to get much higher</p>
<p>If you search for posts on this in the MIT and Caltech forums, you'll find details about what adcoms consider impressive.</p>
<p>You need to get 140+ AMC12 or 10+ AIME to be "recruited" for math. Otherwise it just shows competence.</p>
