Chance a international sophomore with weird stats...

<p>First off, I’m super jealous :wink: It’s amazing how you already have 4 books published. That’s awesome.
And it’s good that you’re a sophomore because you’ve got plenty of time to scout out some science credentials. There might be more than you think… :slight_smile:
In the US, the biology, bhemistry, and physics Olympiad is a pretty big deal. Basically, students take an opening exam and if they pass they go to round two. And after a few more tests, the top scorers get sent to camp. From the campers, a team is picked to compete internationally. However, different countries select their teams in different ways. Even though you want to major in neuroscience, it might be beneficial to have a bioscience EC. China doesn’t advertise the Science Olympiads. They don’t have a website, but I found a pdf file that contains all the information. After reading it a couple of times I made sense of it, so feel free to PM me if you have any questions or if you can’t see the file. There’s an email address on the file and I suggest you email the person and ask about registering. Here’s the file: <a href=“http://www.ibo-info.org/nbo/ChinaNBO.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ibo-info.org/nbo/ChinaNBO.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
Hope this helps!
P.S. Studying for the olympiad is ALOT of work. Get a hold of college biology textbooks and read them through 5-7 times. Make sure you know your stuff. PM me if you have any more questions!
This is just a suggestion btw, you don’t really have to do this. I personally think that your stats are already amazing. But if you want to get into MIT, I would recommend participating in the olympiad :)</p>
