American Mathematics Competitions (AMC 12)

<p>Anyone find out their scores from the AMC 12?
I apparently was the only one in my school to qualify for the next round (scoring above 100)
I'm not quite familiar with the contest so I don't know if my score is anything noteworthy. Should I tell my top colleges (Brown, Northwestern) about this or will they pass it off as a feat accomplished by their average student?</p>

<p>being an AIME qualifier is good. It means you were in the top 5% of people who took the first exam, who were already towards the high end of high schoolers generally. If you were a little weak on awards, it would be worth contacting your schools. If you had a number of more prestigious awards, this won't make a difference. It won't hurt to tell them.</p>

<p>Take a look at the AMC home site--lots of statistics. You can also order previous tests for AMC and AIME etc. Qualifying is good, but nothing to notify a college about by itself. You might mention in a supplemental letter that you were the only one from your school to qualify.</p>

<p>To answer the original question, my S received his AMC12 qualifying score last week. You probably have yours by now.</p>

<p>yeah, i got mine... ive done this for a few years now and never did very good. somehow, this year, i qualified with 103- musta guessed good, i suppose</p>

<p>I got a 4 on the AIME...is that worth putting down, or does it actually look bad....would it be better to just say AIME qualifier?</p>

<p>A score of 4 is above the median on the AIME, so putting the score down on your application is better than just mentioning that you qualified. </p>
