Each year, there are about 100 seniors who have qualified for USAMO at least ONCE by the time they submit their college applications.</p>

There has to be more than that with 270 USAMO qualifiers every year.


&lt;p&gt;Many students qualify for USAMO at their senior years for the first time; that is too late for college. I don't count these students. The majority of USAMO qualifiers are REPEATED qualifiers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;270 USAMO qualifiers include freshmen, sophomore, juniors, seniors, and even MIDDLE and ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS.  A few years ago, a 3rd grader qualified for USAMO. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2012, 15 freshmen and 5 middle schoolers qualified for USAMO. It should be a good guess that only about a dozen seniors have qualified for USAMO 3+ times by the time they send out their college applications.&lt;/p&gt;
