<p>First: how likely is it that a canadian will receive financial aid, assuming that he is accepted? i heard varying responses from different people, but i want a rather concrete answer.</p>
<p>Second: i read that JHU does not look at scores from AIME and AMC.my question is, does JHU look at high ranked results from u of t biology competition and u of waterloo chemistry competition? </p>
<p>tx in advance</p>
<p>These competitions are more along the lines of EC's than pure testing, so I imagine they would consider it. Where did you here about the AIME thing?</p>

<p>2/3. AdmissionsDaniel had [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=205297%5Dposted%5B/url">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=205297]posted[/url</a>] that they do not consider AIME/AMC scores, which kinda surprised me. I would have expected that competition results, including everything from local science competitions to AIME, AMC and other Olympiad qualifying test scores, would be considered as part of your academic achievements</p>
<p>You posted the same hyperlink twice. Is this the one you were referring to for the AMC question? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=225246&highlight=AMC%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=225246&highlight=AMC</a></p>
<p>This seems really bizarre to me too. I understand that it should not be a requirement, but if a student would like to submit something that reflects him- or herself in a positive light, it seems odd that the admissions committee would not at least consider it. Does this mean that JHU does not care if one qualifies for USAMO or is on the IMO team? After all, both of these are in some way influenced by the AMC 12 and AIME.</p>
<p>tanman I think you linked the same post twice. </p>
<p>They may not consider AIME/AMC scores as part of your official academic package, and they will not see them as a substitute for your SAT I math scores but I can imagine that they will be impressed, like any college would by good scores on any test and might consider them an Ex. Ca. activity or some such thing. But I'm only guessing, wait for Adm. Dan. to say something.</p>
<p>Whoops.. sorry. The thread Weasel8488 linked to was what I meant to post for 2/3.</p>
<p>First question: See the thread tanman linked to as it has all the useful information to answer your question. Canadians (who are not dual citizens or US perm. res.) are international students and therefore fall into the category of about 10% of international students being granted an aid package.</p>
<p>Second question: Let's first clear up any confusion my previous comments about AMC and AIME scores may have caused. </p>
<p>From my answer to the other link provided by Weasel8488 it may seem that the Admissions Committee does not pay attention attention to such scores. That is true in reference to the scores being looked at as the same as standardized test scores. Oklahoma89's question was about would low scores on such exams hurt his chances, and that is why I answered that the scores are not looked at that way. Quick answer for a quick question I thought.</p>
<p>The full answer remains that those scores are not looked at the same way we do SAT/ACT/SAT II (i.e. comparing an applicant on a national scale) but they are considered. AMC, AIME, local or regional science/math competitions, Olympiad results, or any other related category are looked at and considered when the Admissions committee looks at a students academic enrichment. The review of academic enrichment experiences is a key factor in the review and should definitely be included with one's application.</p>
<p>Sorry if my quick answer on the other thread caused confusion and I hope I have been able to clear everything up. (I guess there are no short answers in college admissions.)</p>
<p>Thanks very much for the clarification.</p>
<p>ditto. thx people</p>
