[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I think of national awards, I can only come up with National Merit Scholar and Regeneron. But every last kid on here has "multiple national level awards". [b]How is every kid on here distinguished at a national level? Are they all literally in the top 100 science kids in the US? [/b] [/quote] Following is the list of EC awards.
