USABO 2010 - Discuss

<p>Some one earlier on this thread mentioned sitting in on college bio classes. If we were to enroll, is there a limit to the # of classes one is allowed to take and still be eligible for USABO?</p>

<p>I got my letter today too!</p>

Particularly, I’d like to know whether or not we must arrive in the middle of Sunday June 6, or in the middle of Saturday June 5, since it says simply that it is from June 6 to June 18. I expect to have to take my SAT2s on June 5…</p>

<p>dude, it should be fine. I’m doing ARML, which is also June 5th, and just getting to Purdue a bit later at night.</p>

<p>@MeSsIaH. yeah i’ll be going to ARML too so i’ll be arriving at purdue a little late as well.</p>

<p>yay! got my letter.</p>

<p>so do we have to get there by the 5th?</p>

<p>and what are you guys doing for the return flight tickets in the case that you qualify for IBO?
i rarely fly domestic, so i’m clueless about how much it would cost to push back the return trip.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I’m doing ARML as well. xP</p>

<p>I also wanted to take SAT IIs on the 5th (Chem, and a Bio retake because the 790 I got last time annoys me). Guess that won’t be happening. :P</p>

<p>■■■■■, I got a 790 bio too. Joe and Insorak, did either of you do a 6 page coord/trig/vector bash for number one on usamo today? :stuck_out_tongue: :P</p>

<p>I just angle chased…and someone else wrote theirs in 2 pages.</p>

<p>wait… we need a formal acceptance letter by tomorrow noon!? Is an emailed pdf fine!?</p>

<p>^ thankfully, no.
you just need to email back saying that you accept their invitation to the USABO finals.</p>

<p>so i’m assuming we can see the list up tomorrow afterschool?</p>

<p>YES! Finally. I’ll have to get my science teacher to email me, since I’ll be at New England Regional Math Thingy the whole day. (No, that’s not actually what it’s called.)</p>

<p>I didn’t make USABO. I screwed up majorly on both of the AMCs. Not funny. >.<</p>

<p>Wow, they gave us less than 24 hours to accept the invitation? They sure do have quick deadlines… I feel sorry for any potential finalist who hasn’t had email access for a prolonged period of time during this process.</p>

<p>No results up yet.</p>

<p>apparently, they emailed the list to each teacher.</p>

<p>Were there any past USABO finalists/IBO participants who didn’t make it this year?</p>

<p>^You apparently didn’t read the previous posts.
Over 7 previous finalists didn’t make it.
All 3 remaining silver medalists from last year didn’t make it. In addition to multiple bronze medalists. What a debacle.</p>

<p>I forgot to email my bio teacher. >.<</p>

<p>When people get the scores, can they post the histogram? I’m fairly interested in seeing that.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how we can get the Semifinal questions? I have a PDF with all the answers, but that’s not helpful because I have no idea what the questions are.</p>

<p>@Ilikeyou
Last year’s bronze medalists were all seniors except for one, who is returning this year.
The lack of returning silver medalists does puzzle me, however</p>
