<p>Hi guys, i got a quick question here. tnx for help in the first place.
umm, so i scored first place in the state on the AMC12 this yr with a score 127.5/150.
but i did super poor on this yr's freakin' AIME 1. which was considered as one of the easiest AIME ever in the history due to some personal reasons, got like a 4 or sth?. (my boyfriend broke up w/ me. i was sad and sick!!!!!)
I, as a math lover, am gonna apply for MIT which is not too surprising but just wondering if it's worthy and necessary to put my poor AIME score on the MIT app. i think i shall be better off if i just put up my AMC score.</p>
<p>FYI, i've only participated in 2 AMCs. Last yr's AMC 10B and this yr's 12B. I qualified for AIME last yr. but no idea wht i got on the AIME 'tho. probly a 5 or 6.</p>
<p>so you really think i should put my 4 AIME score on my MIT app?..won’t it a lot lower my chance of getting in?
well there’s my thing, i fluctuate in math contests a lot. some times i could be the top scorer in the state, other times i only got a 10th or 20th place. That bothered me! I really don’t wht i’m supposed to do at this point.</p>
<p>I agree - put it down. Also, contact the AMC people and ask them what what your 10th grade score is. They know.</p>
<p>My poor daughter - 9th grade was her best showing on the AIME. In 10th grade she took it while just a bit sick, and in 11th grade she was awoken at 4am by a small Earthquake and never got back to sleep. </p>
<p>MIT actually accepts kids who do not qualify for the AIME, but your score was probably about average - which makes you average among a fairly small group of good math students! 10-20K kids take it each year.</p>
<p>BTW, if you are applying RD, let them know as soon as you know your AMC score.</p>
