[edit] AMC for AMOC

Although there is no publicly declared formula for the selection of students, it is possible that the results of the Australian Mathematics Competition are used in identifying students for further training by the Australian Mathematics Olympiad Committee.

Based on my own experiences, I think this is the case. Repeated high placings may be particularly important, as well as results from other mathematics competitions such as the University of Melbourne mathematics competition. -- B.D.Mills  (T, C) 05:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
