<p>Hi friends,
I'm taking the AIME today but very nervous abt getting a score around 2.
Considering the fact i got a pretty high score on the 12, (an 127.5) if i take a 2, when i apply to such colleges such like MIT, Northwestern, would the aime score hurt me?
Or would i be better off if i just don't report my AIME score?
Tnx!</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. Don’t talk about the test again until after all the tests are sent in to the AMC headquarters for scoring.</p>
<p>NU is a ComApp school, so there’s no specific place for an AIME score. You can just leave it off, but they probably wouldn’t care ayway.
MIT’s app has a place for AIME, but I don’t think they’d care too much if it were low.</p>
<p>If the score is low, just list “AIME Qualifier” under honors and awards and leave it at that.</p>
<p>If you got a 127.5 on the AMC12 THIS YEAR then there’s no way you’re getting a 2 on the AIME. The AMC12 this year, both dates, was brutal; that’s why the cutoff for AIME was so low (88.5). Good luck; I’m sure you did fine.</p>
<p>Ouch! ><
As i predicted, i got an insanely low score on the AIME. Though its just ridicilously easy. Prolly cuz my nervousness, i made tons of stupid mistakes and ended up with a freaking 4 instead of a 12(Right! i made 8 silly mistakes.) Um, well, can anyone tell me if i should put my AIME score on the college apps or leave it blank just reporting my AMC score(127.5)?</p>
<p>Well, i know they wont listen to any of my reasons for getting such a low score on the AIME. But how am i going to explain that blank? And i still kinda want to pop out my AMC score (Well, state highest, as a female).</p>
