Academic honors!

<p>guys i need some help. </p>

<p>I have to list my Honors, and i am confused if clearing RMO and Physics Olympiad at the Regional Level is of any worth??</p>

<p>I have a NASA Scholarship.
I hav bagged award for excellence in computer science for 3 years in a row at school.</p>

<p>I was 107 at NSO. </p>

<p>how do i frame all of these to the best?</p>

<p>^these are all useless awards. Don’t mention them at all. Adcoms won’t care.(lol) </p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>lol :slight_smile:
They will care. This is great.</p>

<p>Hahahaa useless indeed! =P</p>

<p>Yes Yes … absolutely worthless …</p>

<p>After all… who doesn’t get a NASA scholarship… Who doesn’t clear RMO and Phy olympiad…</p>

<p>This website is very intimidating …</p>

<p>BTW fray, ur SAT scores??</p>

<p>Exactly my point, compscifan!</p>

<p>I’m wondering if “thefray” started this thread just to have a little fun. </p>

<p>@the fray - Out of curiosity, does your username refer to the band?</p>

<p>Except probably the NSO, all of the other achievements are worth mentioning.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I a-g-r-e-e.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Forgive my ignorance, but what is NSO?</p>

<p>Guys guys guys! Easy. I am struck with some pathetic net connection issues so i am late in replying. </p>

<p>Ah come on, just tell me!! Is it worth mentioning? You guys are confusing me!
At nationals i got a 97 AIR in maths (the topper was also from my school, argh :P)
and 55 in Phy, both last year.</p>

<p>About the name : well, yes and no both. Cool a name, isn’t it ? ;)</p>

<p>@ivycollege : my subject scores. Maths 2- 780; Chem - 740. Phy- 700. (they ask for just 2 of them right? please say yes :stuck_out_tongue: !! )
SAT Reasoning - 2140</p>

<p>I came second TCS IT WIZ at kolkata this year, so i put it as ‘academic’ in EC section?</p>

<p>Nso- national science olympiad</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You’ve cleared RMO and the Physics Olympiad at the regional level and got 780 and 700 in your Subject Tests? </p>

<p>This seems like a ■■■■■ thread.</p>

<p>There is no <em>official</em> physics olympiad at the regional level. The first level is NSEP.</p>

<p>^Out of curiosity, are you an Olympiad medalist, debarghya9?</p>

<p>Nah, not yet. I have worked considerably hard for NSEP/A and RMO though.</p>

<p>Best of luck then! </p>

<p>But why have you worked so much for them (if I may ask)?</p>

<p>^Because I love Math/Physics :). There is no other way to let people know that I’m good at it. As I self-study everything, it becomes a little overwhelming sometimes.</p>

<p>Thank you Saxena!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Self-studying Olympiads? You wouldn’t happen to have a couple of Nobel prizes in your house now, would you?</p>

<p>Anyway, am I right in assuming that your Olympiad results will not help you in the college application process? I mean, they won’t come out in time, will they? </p>

<p>(I do not know anything about Olympiads, except that they’re way over my head).</p>
