[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]National Awards are dime a dozen.

What National Awards will add more value to a student with a similar profile/SAT/GPA?[/quote]

With this kind of stats, I think stem award is quite remote for this kid, scholastic art and writing gold can help a lot.[/quote]

Scholastic art&writing awards are not easy.  Unlike math competitions, you can’t drill to get art and writing awards.  If the kid doesn’t have the talent, no, those awards are even more remote.[/quote]

You can't "drill" and get national awards in math either (e.g. AMO bronze/silver/gold or MOP placement, HMMT top 10, PUMAC top 10 etc)[/quote]

PP mentioned Scholastic gold key, which is not a national award, so it's equivalent to AIME.
I personally know so many Asian parents have their kids drill for math competition starting a young age.  While it might be difficult to get AMO by drilling, AIME level is achievable.  
Not the case for Scholastic, even at the gold key level.[/quote]
