[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over 95% of all colleges are test optional, and we are talking about math competitions now?  If we can’t even agree on the most reliable predictor, how is it realistic to use a ultra niche one?[/quote]

The discussion started with the "grind" colleges (Hopkins, Princeton, CMU...) Hardly the 95% of colleges. And most of the "grindy" majors end up attracting these Olympiad kids (at least at CMU/MIT....)[/quote]

WHUT?  Even at MIT CMU, Olympiad kids are absolutely a small minority.  WTF are you talking about.  You are an idiot![/quote]

Let me explain it to you slowly, since you are slow -- I said that a majority of the Olympiad kids end up at these schools. Of course they are in the minority there. There are only a few 100 such kids and the total number of undergrads (STEM or otherwise) is in the thousands.

That’s a stupid response.  You admits they are absolute minority, yet you propose using that as a criteria for screening applicants.  Did you see how stupid that is?  [/quote]
