<p>Kid from my school got top #40 at IchO this year (silver medal). No US team members got gold (went to China and Russia). Going to MIT.</p>
<p>Half of RSI got pwned by Harvard this year. On the other hand RSI = lock at MIT.</p>

<p>I dunno if you're talking about Eric Price, but I heard he got rejected mainly because he didn't really want to go to Harvard - he wanted to go to MIT instead. And I guess Harvard somehow got that.</p>
<p>btw, NOBODY from the US. IChO team has gotten a gold medal for at least three years. the pattern has always been, for some reason, three silvers and a bronze. This year, 2007, is no exception. I personally know all four team members this year, so the person's son (from the top of the page...forget name, sorry) is not from here. What country is he from?</p>
<p>that being said, he has an incredibly great chance of getting in, provided that he has decent everything else...just as everyone else has said above me.</p>
<p>The OP's son is from Canada</p>
