Effect of USACO on admissions

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I was just wonder if someone made it to the camp for chemistry Olympiad, how important is that for admissions? The camp represents the top 20 in the united states for chemistry.</p>

<p>It’s actually called USNCO I believe. Making it to the summer study camp is quite an accomplishment and would afford a significant admissions boost.</p>

<p>Any USNCO honor (High Honors is top 50, Honors is top 150, I believe) is a significant accomplishment for college admissions purposes.</p>

<p>That is correct.</p>

<p>Congratulations OP on your achievement! I believe it will make you a pretty competitive applicant for top schools. Of course, that’s just my biased opinion :wink: .</p>
