Like making AIME in 10th vs 11th grade.
I feel like if you mainly have awards from 10th grade, that kinda gives the feeling that you didn’t try that much afterwards.
No.
No, and remember if you are looking at the last couple years…Covid happened and things were canceled at local, state, national, and international levels. Kids were on a certain trajectory and had to shift.
One award D21 received was from 10th and fit in nicely with her major and career goals. She highlighted that more than others that came during 11th.
And keep in mind most competitions in 12th will be after you apply.
