contests and awards

<p>my high school seems to not give any information or do anything when it comes to competitions. I was wondering if anyone can give me a referral or some links to the most prestigous competitions there are for high school students that would look extremely good on your resume for college?</p>

<p>anyone there plz help me im desperate plz help</p>

<p>can someone help me please</p>

<p>im knew to all of this college stuff, im just trying to get better, can you guys help?</p>

<p>I know you're trying to do everything in your power to get into your college of choice, but my best advice would be:</p>

<p>do what you like.
your resume doesnt need "fluff"</p>

<p>ok, but could you just name some recognized competitions and tell me how to enter? plz</p>

<p>I think most of the deadlines for 2006 competitions have passed, because they usually have regional-national-international levels and need a long time period to evaluate for each stage.</p>

<p>yeah, i go to the same type of school! and i found CC in grade 11 so it was way too late, however, i tried my best and registered my school for a biology contest :) (teachers were clueless and didn't bother with our school) but i signed us up, and we wrote it and i got ranked :) (low rank, but at least i was able to do something about it)</p>

<p>so just look them up online and do it! contest fees are only $10-$20, not much anyway
good luck</p>

<p>uh can you guys give me some links, ive looked online and coudnt find anay</p>

<p>well give me some links for 2007 competitions then plz.</p>

<p>can someone help me plz, this is quite urgent</p>

<p>If you're looing at 2007 competitions, why is it so urgent? And what KIND of competitions are you looking for?</p>

<p>political science/writing related type of things</p>

<p>can anyone help plz...AHHHHHH</p>

<p>Can Someone Answer</p>

<p>OKOKOK</p>

<p>Go to Collegeboard.com. They have a search engine that gives you a list of competitions you can enter..They give you scholarship $ as well. And actually, don't worry too much about contests and awards. Do well in school, get AP Scholar awards, and that's good enough. and oh yeah, apply to TASP (telluride association summer program.) It's for writers, it's very prestigious (kind of like an award/contest to get in). The deadline for application is the 23rd or the 26th of January. Google that.</p>

<p>Anyway, for the college board thing:
