But would you trust math olympiad performance over good grades in graduate level math courses? What about publications in respected math journals? If by the time you graduate from college your math olympiad scores are the best things you have going for you, you've got a problem.
- amichail 19y agoYes, I would take math Olympiad performance more seriously than graduate level math courses. As for publications, that would depend on where the paper is published and how much of a contribution was made by the candidate vs his/her coauthors. IQ doesn't change much. If you were super bright in high school, you will probably still be super bright in your 20s and 30s.
- aswanson 19y agoBut it takes more than a scalar score on a test to prove your ability to integrate whats around you into something new. If you get a perfect score on one of those tests and don't do jack shit afterwards, what does it mean?
