Well done, sir.
He sounds like a tribute to his raising. As a parent of two high ranking students, I know how hard that is to achieve.
Please give him my congratulations, and best wishes for the future.

Outstanding!! You have good reason to be proud.

Congrats! That has to be a tough test. Lots of Calculus involved in Macro. A lot harder course than Micro.

That is something to truly be proud of!
My son got an academic scholarship, but nothing that holds a candle to this.

I didn't red all the posts and maybe this was already mentioned.
If he's 1 out of 34, that's NOT the top .03%. It's the top 3%. So the graders of the exam can't do math too well.
does not detract from the young man's achievement.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

He was one "of" those 34 to be placed in the top .03 percentile,
there were more than 34 students who take the test, my math says about 133,000 students took the test.
You not reading all the posts had little to do with your math as well as your reading comprehension.
Apology accepted.

Matthew, my son recieved this letter from the college board. [img:center] ![[Linked Image]](http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz100/KenEngell/2016-11-25%20001%20002_zpsyamzbq4a.jpg) [/img] WHOA! Has his I.Q. been tested? I'm guessing someone capable of that is around 180. 100 is average, with a standard deviation every 15 points. That IQ would be in the 6th Standard Deviation, or approximately in the same % of people with an equally as high an IQ as the % of people who did that well on the math skills test. That's quite a bit above the point picked to be considered a genius. Congratulate your son for me. That is an awesome achievement. His future is indeed bright.

Good job... ya know the boy has a strong future ahead of him.... That is an understatement Seafire...just as my post was. In this age of "Google" kids can get a credible answer to ANY question in a matter of seconds off of their smart phones. They have lost the ability to read for comprehension and their math skills, as a whole, just plain suck. Kenneth's son will be highly sought after and courted when he completes his Master's or PhD at MIT.
