<p>I've seen so much on these forums about how schools want olympiad medalists. But then, I only see math and science based olympiads mentioned.
I got a medal for the International English Olympiad in 9th (I didn't take it in 10th and 11th due to schedule conflicts), but will that hold as much prestige as a math or chemistry one? And how and where do I mention this in my common application?</p>
<p>Thanks!! :)</p>
<p>They are talking about ‘real’ olympiads like iPho/iCho not local olympiads conducted by SOF/SilverZone/MoneyMinters…</p>
<p>@Robots156 I don’t think the IEO was a fake olympiad. Nonetheless, should I mention it on my application?</p>
<p>Does it really matter what you think? Put it there if there is nothing better to put.</p>
<p>@Robots156 Very well. I suppose I will put it on my app. It adds on to all my English centric achievements anyways. Thanks for your help! :)</p>
<p>Yes, sorry if I sounded harsh! If the rest of your app is English centric, adding this really helps :)</p>
