USAMO qualification is not that great! Over 500 qualify each year, at least 150-200 seniors. Need to qualify for Math Olympiad Summer Program (MOP) to really distinguish yourself and be on the same level as the STS finalist or RSI participant.[/quote]
First, there are around 200 USAMO qualifiers , not 500. And the student pool for the usamo track is much larger than other Olympiad competitions. So it’s hard.
Second, the PP did say national finalist of ISAMO, which is MOP.[/quote]

Technically, the US IMO (and respective Olympiad) team are finalists. But there can only be 6! And there were about 250 USAMO qualifiers (and another 250 from JMO). [/quote]
