I thought they would (based on last year’s timeline), but I haven’t heard anything. I don’t think emails will come out on the weekend, so hang tight until monday?
as a note, wanahakalugi over there is definitely getting an email.
haha thanks guys
if anyone gets an email, post here !
Does anyone know when and where we can access our scores?
The USABO website says scores will be posted on April 15th (this Wednesday), and I assume it’ll be on the same page that the open exam scores were posted on. (https://www.usabo-trc.org/src/exam-scores) Make sure you’re logged in.
I took the 2013 and 2014 USABOs, and made semis both times. I did ok on semis, and came close to the cutoff both times, close but no cigar. The semfinal is a weed out test. yeah, some of the questions they ask on the semifinal exam are really not fair, but how else do you go from hundreds of students to 20? Trust me, the open exam is tough already. if you did well on that, you already demonstrated a handle of some difficult concepts. semifinal is a super hardcore test that requires specific training to do well on. i’m guessing most finalists had at least one of the following: lab experience or mentorship.
Got email
lol what are the chances after you get the “under consideration” email lol
I’m pretty sure if you accept the email, you’re in. They really just use that email so that if anyone makes it and chooses to not accept, they have time to email someone else. I’ve never heard of someone get the email and not make it.
My view on the email is that if someone decides not to attend, they don’t have something they can send to a college/employer to “prove” they were a finalist.

Yes, I know many olympians are also titled “US__O Finals Invitee,” which can carry a similar weight as being an actual finalist
but if USABO explicitly says “This does not mean you’re a finalist” It’s more difficult for them to write it on their records
So, should those of us who haven’t gotten an email give up hope? I’m assuming so… Nice job you guys!
Alright whose gotten an email so far?
- botherme
- wanahakalugi ofc
- hululu
Also do you know if they send emails to the high honor people as well (Top 50)?
They didn’t send emails to the high honor people last year. We just got certificates. We should know on Wednesday what the 10% cutoff is though.
Are all the finalists confirmed, or will there be more emails to be sent out?
Yea will there still be emails coming out tomorrow or what?
Are u supposed to get another reply after you reply to the invitation email or wahtever
@ultimate314 there may be more emails since if people decide to turn down the invite, CEE will have to invite more people to fill the set of 20.
@huhululu you’ll probably get some sort of confirmation if you send in your form
@wanahakalugi I did send in my form now I’m really scared they didn’t get it. Please tell me if you hear anything from them. Thank you!!!
