<p>For college applications I am supposed to list the competitions I participated in. What about the Kangourou competition? Do you perhaps know it? It's on a national level, but everybody can participate. Do you think it's wise to say that I won a recognition in this competition or better leave it out?
Please respond as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>I've never heard of it. Then again, I never heard of IMO until I came to CC.</p>
<p>If it's on national level, you should use it. Then explain what it is.</p>
<p>Hehe, yeah, it's on a national level. But really <em>everyone</em> can participate. You can be a zero in math and compete on a national level. You understand? I mean, I might indicate I participated and later explain: "Yes, but this is really nothing. It's not special at all". ;)
What do you think? Or just leave out the explanation? hehe...</p>
<p>is that some kangaroo competition? i have never heard of it... But then i may be ignorant... perhaps the AOs will know it.. i would say put it down</p>
<p>Don't say that in your explanation, aw5k! Oi! Just say it's a national math competition.</p>
<p>I've heard of it! I've even participated to it(math and french)! I've put it in my list. you should do the same. can't hurt. ;)</p>
<p>Lakshmi, what did you get as award? did you get a price or just a recognition (like me)?</p>
<p>a recogniton, and I went into one of their camps..... here in our country....which was so fun! :p</p>
