My kid is into math - likes both pure and applied. Qualified for USAJMO & USAMO and has a few other activities/achievements in math. Objectively would be among the top 50-100 students for their grade in math.

We looked wide and far and talked to a few actual students from different universities. Every T100 college has a strong math program that would meet the needs of your undergraduate student. Every college we looked at had enough really strong math students that your kid would have a good peer group at these places. So quality of the undergraduate math program is not something to worry about. All the things your kid would be doing at undergraduate level are not going to be any different. For graduate and PhD, yes you need to look deeper.

Look at other things, this is a non-issue. DC is going to one of HYPSM, but would have been fine with any of the colleges on their list which rank all the way to T75.
