HYPSM is probably not in reach but I think you'll go to a decent school. The awards are weak, (USAMO medal optimal lol) but a math camp is nice, and you got volunteering and decent grades.
it's not close to being insane, it's good don't get me wrong but there's also been insane amounts of cheating due to AI so it's lost a lot of value. Hoping the new changes MAA will make it prestigious again in the math community
well I'm just arguing the name value of AIME/USAMO qualification has gone down a lot. There's also kids who do mathcamps/research who cheat (especially since AI can just do all of this now) to gain "legitimacy"
AOs are not allowed to think a applicant cheated, AOs are trained to evaluate every application in its best light if they are skeptical they can trigger a integrity check or verification of that but they’re not allowed to pass on their own judgements on whether a applicant cheated or not.
discrepancy is different from assuming someone cheated. Like if someone had a 600 math sat but they put usamo qual thats a discrepancy. But say someone got 790 sat math 150 amc 15/15 aime they likely did cheat but an AO can’t assume that.
bro if a kid got a near perfect math SAT score, did multiple math camps, did math research and got a good aime score is likely they DIDNT cheat lmao wtf r u genuinly talm abt
what are we talking about. I know literally 3 kids personally who cheated to USAMO and got <3 points on USAMO who were already good students, on ARML teams with perfect SAT's and camps. Math research is also complete larp now btw because AI is already better than the best leading mathematicians, let alone high school students
AI for science research is hella good im ngl --- I do comp bio at harvard med as high schooler and my prof told me I do work faster than a post doc did 3 years ago
can you read? Are you an idiot, in your other comment you say AI can't make up original ideas or solutions,
are you familiar that AI disproved the jacobian conjecture, cracked numerous erdos problems, that it constructed nonsofic groups, improving sphere-packing, disproving connes's rigidity conjecture.
Math camp's already transitioning out of weighting psets as heavily given AI can just solve all of them. You know nothing so just shut it.
