<p>Hello, I was wondering if I should put my USAMO score of 8 on the MIT app. Would it look better if I just said I am a USAMO qualifier instead of putting down the relatively low score?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Do a search on this forum for several threads about the AMC and AIME. An 8 is a very good score.</p>
<p>To me, USAMO is like Putnam -- anything above a 0 is excellent. Please, please put the 8 on your MIT app -- it'll help. "USAMO qualifier" by itself sort of implies you did really poorly, as opposed to what you call "relatively low."</p>
<p>should a 1 go on the app?</p>
