AIME 2x is table stakes for T10 STEM applicants. The quant fund internship is the differentiator. Lean essays on a specific desk project.

Your AIME 2x + quant fund internship is enough for ORFE specifically. They weight quant application over pure contest math. Lean the essay on a specific desk moment, not the contests. MIT is the harder reach IMO since their CS-math pool is saturated.
