<p>The classes are not filled to the brim with USAMO qualifiers, but there are a fair number of IMO medalists from Bulgaria, Romania, etc. If you get in, you definitely have what it takes to succeed as a math major. I'm taking the freshman honors sequence this year, so feel free to ask me any questions you may have.</p>

<p>Lol you'll never get in if you refer to yourself as 'stupidkid.' You look good, though. Could go either way...total crapshoot for everyone but recruited athletes/progeny of major donors.</p>

<p>To be honest what major you put down is not that big of a deal. The admissions office will figure you could be a math major anyway given your scores.</p>
