<p>bump…anyone?</p>

<p>Well… I’m probably not qualified to do chancing, but I do have to ask, how did you do in USNCO such as national recognition or local recognition?</p>

5

<p>I mean, if you placed in the top 20,50 or even 150 or so, that would be HUGE.</p>

<p>i actually didn’t get past the local competition, i took the test not knowing about 30% of the material because we weren’t up to that in my ap chem class, but only about 15 kids from my borough in nyc were chosen, so i think it stands for something.</p>

7

<p>Borough as in school or as in school district? I remember that 10 were chosen from my school to take the local exam and about 10 from our district took the national exam.</p>

<p>It does indeed stand for something, and is impressive in itself. It will help your application, but not enough to boost chances a lot. </p>

<p>I asked because that was the only thing I was REALLY familiar with on your application, except for GPA and SAT scores.</p>

<p>your test scores are very low for penn, columbia, and cornell</p>
