USA Math Talent Search in admissions

<p>I assume that the admissions team is somewhat familiar with this competition (see usamts.org) and that it's generally seen as one way to show passion and/or talent in math. Does anyone know how relative scores (80 v. 90 v. 95 v. 100) are considered? (On the AMC, as was discussed in a previous thread, there's sort of a "below-this-you're-just-showing-interest" level and a "wow" level - is there anything like this for the USAMTS? Is any score in the 90-100 range roughly equivalent? How are the "commended solutions" considered?)</p>

<p>sorry for the question-attack...</p>

<p>I would think that any score that qualifies for AIME is a good level (the problems are pretty hard and doing them also shows some good persistence) - anything below is "just showing interest."</p>
