[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How competitive are the kids near the top? What level are those kids on?[/quote]

I don't have objective measures, but from what I've heard, they're dazzling, in a great way.  If DC qualifies and can join the team it should be a pretty special experience.[/quote]

Are they qualifying for AIME/USAJMO/MathCounts Nationals?[/quote]

Yes for all three competitions. But the current lottery selected 6th and 7th grades have less of these type of kids due to lottery. So it won't be that competitive next year. Even for the non-top ones, it is still some valuable experience to be exposed every week to different kind of math competition questions with a great cohort of peers. [/quote]

Before the lottery, typically a dozen non-eighth graders made the varsity team. This year there are only five. So yes, it's a little less competitive but the the score needed to get into varsity was the same as previous years on the tryout..[/quote]
