[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYU Johns Hopkins Rice Harvey Mudd UMich - I heard their Math Honors track is good? Williams Swarthmore CMU[/quote] 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. [/quote] No, the MOPers would be top 50-100. Each year around 500 qualify for USA(J)MO, and that's not counting the similarly talented students who focused on learning advanced undergrad math rather than math competitions. There are not many in this small group at places like UMD and UVA - certainly not enough to fill a class so the professor can go at a pace and depth that challenges them. At a place like that, their best option is begging to skip into real analysis/algebra for a challenge.[/quote]
