<p>a 111 AMC is nothing to brag about, nor is a 2 AIME, so maybe omit those? but it's too late for that.</p>

<p>What college are you applying to (engineering, science, comp sci, humaities, architecture)?</p>

<p>im planning on applying to tepper (business)</p>

4

<p>you will be just above average of tepper applicants...so i guess it depends on background issue (region, race, sex, etc)</p>

<p>ditto to cmonyuk..there are lots of kids here who got 7 or higher on AIME...i got 6 and i know its a mediocre score...</p>

<p>according to the college board, you're be at the 25th percentile of all applicants. I couldn't find data broken down by college, but you might want to take a look at this: <a href="http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/servlet/createpdf?collegeId=3693&app=CollegeSearch%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/servlet/createpdf?collegeId=3693&app=CollegeSearch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Now you already applied and are waiting for an answer, or can your stats change? (aka, you're a Junior or Senior?)</p>
