<p>Many of the EC/awards you are complaining about are positively correlated. If he/she went to RSI, it would be very like you had some intel and siemens experience. Similarly, if he went to RSI, he/she must have shown a passion for his field of research. If it was math, physics, compsci, etc., USAMO and USACO are not that unlikely.</p>
<p>Hey, Atrium, I’m RSI '08 too. PM me.</p>
