<p>I have decided that I will be most likely applying Harvard SCEA next year. On that note, I am wondering if these AMC/AIME scores I recently received are worth putting down on my app or whether these scores will actually hurt me. Keep in mind, I feel that I am a little more slanted to the humanities.</p>
<p>AMC 12B: 111.5
AIME II: 5</p>
<p>Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance.:)</p>
<p>Well I guess any AMC 12 score >100 can't hurt/AIME score!=0. But AIME 5 is on the low side to really make a substantial difference. If you're slanted towards the humanities, go that route. Play with your strengths.</p>
<p>Actually, that AIME score is better than the AMC score. A good AMC score would be 120/130+ while a good AIME score would be 3+ (just ballpark figures)</p>
<p>Put it. There's no such thing as a score 'hurting' someone, it only lessens appeal, and in your case it shows more that you're well-rounded even though you're into humanities. No use withholding information.</p>
<p>Alright sounds good!!!:) Hanging around these boards tends to make you delusional sometimes with regards to downnplaying anything less than perfection. So, I apologize if I displayed an air of arrogance or self-promotion on this thread because those were not my true intentions.</p>
<p>Good luck to all seniors waiting on those decisions from Harvard this Friday!!!</p>
<p>I would put down the scores. There is nothing wrong with being well rounded; it just generally takes something very strong to get into Harvard.</p>
<p>5 is pretty decent on the AIME. </p>
<p>In my opinion, a good score on the AMC 12 is 125+</p>
<p>For it to really count for something, it'd be good to have around 132, though.</p>
<p>Also, a 9-11 on the AIME would really count for something.</p>
<p>Haha if you put the above two scores together, you'd probably make USAMO...which would definitely count for something!</p>
<p>haha wow, I barely can break 100 on the AMC (I've done it once having taken it 9th through 11th grade, lol). You're all really quite impressive :)</p>
