tbh if you're that confident in math then you should just put most of ur effort into it

#

usamo silver is mop which makes mit ur safety (you probably know it but still, you're implying that you have a strong chance which makes it your highest ev move)

#

the rest of ur app is already solid

#

also, i have some Olympiad friends at Harvey Mudd and Berkeley, HM seems to especially fit ur description well and is a top LAC at ur areas of interest, id suggest looking into it if ur fine with the consequences of attending a LAC
