UMich - I heard their Math Honors track is good?

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.

[b]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.[/b][/quote]

Given that UMD finished top 10 in Putnam for the last 3 years, I don't think this is correct.[/quote]
It’s a good college and is massive. Sure it’s top 10 team, but that doesn’t mean much when so much of the top 100 placements are MIT.[/quote]
