I'm not sure about this, but I don't think it's ever happened that there weren't 20 scores over 45. Maybe on one of the harder sets?

No. Last year's cutoff, I believe it was 49, was the lowest cutoff for any CCC. So, yea, UW asks for scores >= 45, as anything less than that is (virtually) impossible to make stage 2 with. Also, currently I know 8 people with a score >= 45. There are probably 12 other people with such a score, though I believe that a lot of people got stuck at #3 or even #4 and didn't even reach #5. So, yea, the cutoff could be 45, or even (a small possibility) less than 45.

There was one year it was lower, at 47. (I don't remember which, but you can probably figure it out by looking through the problem sets.) And UW asks you to send if the score is >= 40, not >= 45 --- and I'm sure there were 20 scores >= 40.

Really? >= 40? Wow, my teacher told me >= 45. So I am assuming that there is a chance that the cutoff is 43 or 44....

You'd better correct your teacher then, if there is anyone at your school with 40 <= score < 45...

Yes, two I think. Or maybe just one (and the score is like 44 or 43....so it would make a difference)

As of now, I know of 9 people with a score of => 45. Looks like this year WAS hard (as these 9 scores include the schools from Canada that have sent people to stage two before...well, mostly all of them).

Wow....this is horrible...

Ok, its the third time in a row something stupid like this happened.

Apparently I forgot to submit my #3 to my CS teacher....as a result, he has the older version of #3 I handed in as opposed to my final copy...

Oh well, I guess if something stupid happens to you three times in a row (Gr 10 - Forgot to save #4, Gr 11 - Teacher didn't mark my #2, and now Gr 12 - Didn't submit #3), then I probably am not meant for Computer Science....

Hmm...maybe if I switch into something else...

To think I got into universities for CS/Math....

Don't worry about it - I'm detail oriented with the memory of a gold fish.

On a more serious note, stage 2 invitations come out mid-April, and I don't think the results PDF comes out until after then...

The brochure says that "Stage 1 results will be posted by April 2".
