MAA email

USAMO

Yo genuinely we should fucking send MAA like thousands of emails.. a kid in my school also (99.999% likely) resourced (beforehand tho, using like that asian website/WeChat bullshit to resource on AMC and AIME), making aime AND making jmo/amo got like 150% harder with these resources... can't wait to see median amo score tho lmao its gna be sub 10..

I'm not jealous or angry at the cheaters, bc im an 8th grader with a ~110 AMC 10A score and a 5-6 AIME score... so there was never even a chance of me making USAJMO. But for next year I was going to try for an 400 index (when i lock in i lock in hard ok)... and at this rate idk what MAA is doing with these fucking take home tests and shit.. its honesty disgusting and pathetic.

This might ruin math olympiads for everyone in the future. Plus, the next generation of jobs wants THINKERS... and cheaters aren't THINKERS.

MAA kinda sucks... I really hope the get over the fucking take home tests and ban online testing centers because those suck.. if we're being fr rn cheating will still exist with those sketchy links but it will go down from maybe 60% of jmo/amo quals being cheaters to maybe 5%... still very dissapointing.

I appreciate MAA trying to take initiative with a crazy high AMO score but stop rejecting people with higher indexes and accepting people with lower indexes because of cheating suspicions. the cheaters can just get lower scores to get rid of ur suspicion. genuinely lock in maa...

Edit: just forgot that amc 8 also has hella cheaters, DHR topped at 24 with HR at 21. Completely dissapointed in MAA and the measures doing. i rly hope people don't quit competitive math, but MAA is kinda the core of competitive math and they need to take measures.

F.Y.I. I suck at not making silly mistakes and I live on silly mistakes sooo i got 23/25 on amc 8 somehow like a moron and didn't DHR. Thanks a lot cheaters (and maa)
