<p>It'll help, of course. This article on Stanford admissions talks about the RPI medal in their evaluation of an applicant:</p>

<p>It is a good award, but it is mostly a school-wide award, so it isn't quite on the level of, say, ISEF or USAMO.</p>

<p>Yea the RPI and the Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Awards are both just school wide awards for best overall science student.</p>

<p>You'll only get the scholarship from RPI if they accept you. According to their info session, not every Rensselaer Medal recipient is accepted.</p>
