[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain why nearly all the Putnam top 100 scorers are from MIT? Why aren’t the top students more evenly distributed among Princeton, Harvard, Chicago, Caltech, etc?[/quote] MIT has the oldest Putnam training program. (Most schools, even top schools, don't have any Putnam training at all, because professors think it's silly.) Like attracts like. Birds of a feather flock together. Math contest kids want to be together and crave the contest wins, so they prefer MIT. [/quote]
