<p>Have you won any science competitions outside of taking the national math exams? I know a few people who have gone to RSI, and they all placed at ISEF, Siemens, many other regional competitions. Otherwise, you have an average chance. The acceptance rate, as you probably already know, is 1% and everybody there has won numerous awards in science.</p>
