你的竞赛获奖情况

caobikeUID: 2252728

要知道，想上Caltech, MIT以及很多牛校没有数理化竞赛成绩（最好是省洲级以上的）是不够competitive的，单凭SAT高分并不能赢取Admission的全部注意，而有了好的竞赛成绩哪怕SAT不很高也是会录取的。那么现在就调查一下大家的竞赛获奖成绩吧（从9年级算起）。
& X9 `; x8 G/ ?6 D" a我先来（说几个重点）:
: ]& b' f8 k+ Z) P8 `9 f+ L1 H3 tUSAMO finalist (Grade 11)
( _8 G* p" j, f$ n& r* ]State first place (math) (11)
Canada/USA Mathcamp (11)
7 p" N* z4 ?, T$ x5 X) N& S中国的：NEPCS 全国2等 （9）
       中学生应用物理竞赛全国3等 （9）

本人读完中国高一来的美国。大家都知道在中国高一基本拿不了什么全国性的奖，都得等到高2高3，所以我10年级有些空缺。

请大家谈谈你的经历。

调查这个有用吗?真正有用的是International Olympic prize,其他竞赛用处不大.
$ u! \5 s2 a/ w因为不具普遍性,不是所有人参加了,所以不能证明获奖的一定比没参加的强.

Yes, you are correct. All of the prizes from contest are optional. However, the possibility will be enhanced if you do have some contest prizes.
One thing I do not agree with you is "真正有用的是International Olympic prize,其他竞赛用处不大." Other contests do count toward the undergraduate admission. That's why MIT application asks your AMC and AIME result.

Yes, they can be your activities.

0 A8 b4 j, W2 ?, v要知道，想上Caltech, MIT以及很多牛校没有数理化竞赛成绩（最好是省洲级以上的）基本是不行的.

这句话真实性有待考证,在印象中,好象这些学校的AO没说过这样的话吧.

Right, they can help you be more competitive, but cannot ensure you to be admitted. However, students without these prizes also have chances to be admitted, depending on their good overall performances and well-rounded personality.

不同意这个说法。今年被牛校（Ivy)录取的人,很多都没有数理化竞赛大奖。不要用国内的衡量标准和眼光来自己吓唬自己、吓唬别人呵。

同意,4楼的牛人云霎就是例子.

Thanks for understanding. I know what you meant. Don't worry. It was just a discussion but never a threat. Just take it easy. And good luck with your application.

USAMO finalist 是什么竞赛?
在美国11年级学科竞赛多吗?在国内国重的优生去拿奖容易吗?
