<p>lol i hate that section, because i'm mediocre and have no awards D=</p>

<p>do athletic awards count? besides that all i got is AIME and semifinalist</p>

<p>I think for the awards section, MIT only wants you to list academic/scholastic awards: ie National Merit, Honor Roll, etc. You're welcome to list your athletic awards either in the EC section or attach a resume and send that separately. Be sure to include your full name, DOB on all separate attachments.</p>

<p>Haha, except you wouldn't need to list IMO and USAMO. That would be redundant. Use the space instead for IPhO or Davidson Fellowship.</p>

<p>Wait, you don't have a Nobel yet? Eh, that might count against you...</p>
