WOOT early bird pricing is in effect, don’t miss out! If you took MathWOOT Level 2 last year, no worries, it is all new problems this year! Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.
Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Note that this is in no way trying to slander people who qualified through states with lower cutoffs. It is to compare cutoffs from 2022-2025. Qualifying nationals in any state is an exceptional achievement.
All credit goes to @peace09 for compiling previous years.
Additionally, thanks to @ethan2011/@mathkiddus for the template.
Tier colors have been removed as per the nationals' server requests.
For those asking about the removal of the tiers, I'd like to quote Jason himself:

I hit my 1234th post! (I think I missed it, I'm kinda late, :oops_sign:)
But here's a puzzle for you all! Try to create the numbers 1 through 25 using the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4! You are only allowed to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parenthesis. If you're post #1, try to make 1. If you're post #2, try to make 2. If you're post #3, try to make 3, and so on. If you're a post after 25, then I guess you can try to make numbers greater than 25 but you can use factorials, square roots, and that stuff. Have fun!
Some researchers are going to put you to sleep. During the two days that your sleep will last, they will briefly wake you up either once or twice, depending on the toss of a fair coin (Heads: once; Tails: twice). After each waking, they will put you back to sleep with a drug that makes you forget that waking. When you are first awakened, to what degree ought you believe that the outcome of the coin toss is Heads?

Is there a way to do this without drawing obscure auxiliary lines? (the auxiliary lines might not be obscure I might just be calling them obscure)
For example I tried rotating triangle MBC 80 degrees around point C (so the BC line segment would now lie on segment AC) but I couldn't get any results. Any help would be appreciated!
How hard is mathpath?
What is the level that people are at to get in? (in terms of mathcounts, amc 10, amc 8, etc.)
It's a secret. The staff don't want applicants to know.
I gather that the theory is that it's not supposed to matter, because the Qualifying Test is mostly self-selecting as a preview of the MathPath experience. MathCamp is like an all day, all week, all month Qualifying Test.
Only attempt as much of the Qualifying Test as you enjoy. Then if you get in, trust that they know you are ready for camp (which is highly adaptive with dozens of different courses to choose from, and no grades), because there are many more qualified applicants than spots.
And if you don't get in, it's OK because not getting everything you want is just how life is, and no harm done because you enjoyed the time you spent taking the test.
The only big problem with this theory is that the Qualifying Test is a solitary, lonely experience, but camp is very social and interactive.
I don;t think that there is much that you can do apart from trying your best on the qualifying test and submitting early. Also, if you are rejected, try again next year if you are able. I myself was rejected the first time that I applied, and tried again and was admitted.

imo i dont think they focus on this very much. I think they focus more on like ur hobbies and stuff because they want u to have a life outside of math
all of the courses have very different difficulties, and the ones that are together(plenaries) can sometimes be challeniging. Also, it's not like AMSP where comp math is the main focus. It's more about research math or theoretical math(topology, for example)

It looks really fun, can't wait to go. I like proofs better than comp math anyway.
