<p>You definitely could. I got 87 on my AMC12 test but it was an unusually hard test. The cut off for AIME on that test for 89 instead of the usual 100. I have lots of other maths awards so I’m not that worried.</p>
<p>Did you get any awards such as school winner or certificate of achievement? If so, I would mention those instead of your score. If not, still go ahead and mention your score.</p>
<p>I think you should mention the score and the fact that you placed in second. It couldn’t hurt, especially since you already have high SAT II scores.</p>
<p>some schools have places where you can write in your AMC/AIME/USAMO scores
79 is very low for an amc score, even for amc 12
if you can take it again, then try for a higher score
but i would still put it on your app</p>
<p>Jebar - but most every year the cutoff score is around 100. How will admissions officers think? Possibly a bit lower than usual maybe… If you didn’t make AIME, I wouldn’t advise telling them your AMC score</p>
