<p>Is it necessary to take the AMC in order gain acceptance into MIT's Engineering school? </p>
<p>What if my school offers it?
What if my school doesn't offer it?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>no its not</p>
<p>No, though there is a spot on the application about this, so if you got a really good score, it may be to your advantage to report.</p>
<p>what if i got a 100.5 on the amc12, qualified for the aime and took it, but didn't make it past that round? - is it worth reporting that? or is it better to just not report anything?</p>
<p>What was your AIME score?</p>
<p>Look, putting down an 100.5 is not bad. It's still like top 10% nationwide. It may be below median for the MIT student body, but unless they would think you're a math genius if you don't put it down (i.e. the rest of your app points to that) I see no reason not to.</p>
<p>there's a lot of people that get into MIT that didn't do amc at all..</p>
<p>yeah. it helps but is not an automatic.</p>
