If more than 10, that's pretty good. ) ~$ w8 v# r4 Z6 B6 z; c5 c 8 i% p8 |, o1 V6 D1 T% F. ~6 vAIME concentrates more on the creativity and diversity of ideas, not necessarily bounded to high school knowledge or middle school knowledge.

i think you are likely to get into U of Illinois-Urbana, others do not look like a breeze to me. My suggestion is that you should pick decent amounts of school, 5-10, and rank them from highly selective to safety, put equal amounts of schools under each category.$ w& m7 V* o7 F# \$ c: R1 r9 e6 c
And I highly recommend Allegheny to be one of your matching schools.=); M3 z3 R7 g; ~
