Nine RE students advance to prestigious national math exam

Nine Ransom Everglades students – Andrew Gedde '25, Robert Li '26, Daniel Li '28, Solon Sun '25, Gabriel Karsenti '26, Minnie Zhou '26, Joshie Khohayting '28, Alex Tevelow '28 and Aarav Jindal '26 – were among the top-performing students in the nation on a recent set of math exams. The students excelled on the American Mathematics Competitions 10 or 12 (depending on their grade level), qualifying for the American Invitation Mathematics Examination (AIME) – a rare distinction earned by less than 5 percent of test takers.

 
The nine qualifiers to the AIME are believed to be the most ever for Ransom Everglades.

"Qualifying for the AIME reflects not only exceptional mathematical ability but also dedication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills at a level that is nationally recognized," said RE mathematics and computer science teacher Sebastian Revollo, upper school math team coach. "Documenting this accomplishment celebrates their excellence, inspires other students, and highlights RE's commitment to supporting high achievers in mathematics."

If the students perform well on the AIME, they may advance to the next stage of the competition, the USA Mathematical Olympiad. More than 300,000 students take the AMC tests, and most are serious math students.
