Include Math Prize for Girls in Academic Honors? Other Math competitions in Academic Honors?

Hi! I’m applying to MIT this cycle.

Given that MIT requests all past AMC/AIME+ scores on the application, is it worth including Math Prize for Girls Qualifier in the awards list? For context, Math Prize for Girls asks all girls who took the AMC to apply, and admits the top 250 (purely based on score). Since this is a competition you need to apply for and the cutoff isn’t published publicly, I was wondering if it makes sense to include MPFG Qualifier as an award?

Also, should I list my other placings in math competitions I’ve taken (ARML, PUMaC, HMMT, etc.) under academic honors? I don’t really have room for them in the Math Club activity, and they are more personal achievements.

Thank you!

yes by all means. there are only 300 girls out of the +/- 100k kids that take the AMC, so highlight it for sure.
