[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]National finalist of major STEM competitions (think USAMO, USAPHO, USABO, etc) ISEF, STS finalist First author pub in peer-reviewed journals National finalist of major art/writing competitions Accepted to prestigious summer programs (RSI, SSP, TASP, etc)[/quote] +1[/quote] USAMO qualification is not that great! Over 500 qualify each year, at least 150-200 seniors. Need to qualify for Math Olympiad Summer Program (MOP) to really distinguish yourself and be on the same level as the STS finalist or RSI participant.[/quote] It also depends on the overall package. My DD was a non-Asian girl USAMO qualifier whose other ECs were impressive/not STEM focused (debate & theater). The USAMO qualification was unique in that context and solidified that she really was *very* good at math and not just another A student.[/quote]
