Started in the 1950s, the AMC has been the exclusive pathway for a student to advance to the USA Mathematical Olympiad. The AMC is an opportunity for students to excel in an academic sphere, and gives students a chance to stimulate their mathematical curiosity and skills. Many well-known colleges and universities have access to AMC contest scores and use them for recruiting and admissions.
