<p>Specify them anyway. At least you have them.</p>
<p>5 on the AIME is nothing to sneeze at.</p>
<p>so any AMC score should be put down?</p>
<p>You're never going to be rejected for an AMC score.</p>
<p>It shows you took the exam, at the very least...</p>
<p>Hey I am new here I was just wondering does it look kinda bad if I qualified for aime my freshman junior years but not sophomore (cuz i made a very stupid mistake) actually my best score for amc was my freshman year which was only a 109 i think and then aime i got 5 junior year which unfortunately was easier for everyone. granted i know amc/aime scores are not a makeorbreak type stat but just curious.</p>
<p>no, it won't look bad. I screwed up on the AIME my senior year (your junior year) lack of sleep and MIT results were out already... hehe
Making AIME at all is definitely better than nothing. Your scores are respectable.</p>
<p>I got 9 on AIME in Grade 8 and 5 in Grade 9. In Grade 10, I went to a new school that doesn’t offer AMC. When I apply to MIT/Caltech, will the fact that the score of 9 was achieved in Grade 8 make me more competitive? Or do they not care about the grade in which a student write the AIME?</p>
<p>sorry to revive again, but i have a question… i have a pretty good record of making it to AIME, but not such a great record on the AIME itself…</p>
<p>so like i’ve made it in grades 7-11… but i’ve never made USAMO. i have like</p>
<p>7th: 2
8th: 6
9th: 5
10th: 9
11th: 7</p>
<p>i know with like grades and stuff they don’t really look that much at what the initial few grades were but they really look at how the student progressed and matured. would this hurt like from my 8th-9th grade and from 10th-11th grade?</p>
<p>No, your drops are very small and there’s a lot of luck involved with scores on the AIME. Your scores are generally increasing anyways. And the application only asks for one score.</p>
<p>I am international, so I don’t know about AMC and AIME. But I have an International Matematics Olympiad (IMO) medal. How does it affect ?</p>
<p>^^^ HAHAHAHA</p>
<p>If you really have an IMO medal, you are pretty much set. IMO is taken by the 250 best people in the world at math. Medals are achieved by the top scorers only. If you have an IMO medal, that’s ridiculously amazing and that is going to boost your chances through the roof. Get decent grades / standardized test scores and you should probably get in any good college.
nice job</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These days, you’d better be flying horses to get in. Riding them doesn’t cut it anymore.</p>
<p>Man this thread is old! </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is a good thing to include on your MIT application!</p>
<p>I got 15 in AIME, but I don’t know whether it works</p>
