Contest Math: STEM and Olympiad Circles

🧮New Friends - Math Olympiad gives you the opportunity to meet students who are similarly passionate about math. If you compete at the national or the international level, you’ll meet gifted, like-minded students from all over the country and around the world. Alumni say that being part of the math contest community is like having access to the peer group at a top-tier university, but several years earlier. Rather than a cutthroat competitive atmosphere, they say that Math Olympiad is collaborative and supportive. They look forward to the group chats and long bus rides almost as much as the math itself.

🧮Unique Experiences - Students who participate in Math Olympiad benefit from a wide variety of rare experiences. The math problems you’ll solve are uniquely challenging, and the opportunity to travel the country or even the world participating in math competitions is far from common.

Recent International Math Olympiad competitions have been held in Melbourne, Australia; Bath, England; Chiba, Japan; Oslo, Norway; Cluj-Napoca, Romania; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Hong Kong, China; and Cape Town, South Africa.

🧮Enhanced College Opportunities

Both MIT and Caltech have entry blanks on their application forms for applicants to enter their best AMC and AIME scores. Other top-tier schools, like Stanford, ask for AMC and AIME scores in their supplements to the mail application. It signals to colleges that you have elite talent in mathematics. Because very few students make it to the national or international level of the competition, doing so will make you stand out from the crowd.
