<p>Well, class of 2012, it's our last summer to perfect our applications...</p>
<p>I've been noticing something that is lacking in my ECs..AWARDS!!</p>
<p>I have strengths in science, math, and writing.. are there any competitions that I could compete in that you know of? I live in central texas, I am searching google but I can't find anything..</p>
<p>science fair!</p>
<ul>
<li>Writing Contest</li>
<li>Art Contest</li>
<li>Poetry Contest</li>
</ul>
<p>Here is a very competitive competition:</p>
<p>[Siemens</a> Competition](<a href=“Search for Scholarships – BigFuture | College Board”>Search for Scholarships – BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>Not sure of the exact details but the site has a lot of info.</p>
<p>If I share where I found my awards then Harvard will want you more than me. So no bro.</p>
<p>lolz jk 
just attempting to ■■■■■</p>
<p>for the arts the scholastic art and writing awards are on of the best
winning a simple in town poetry slam is coll, just make it sound better than it is lolz :P</p>
<p>All you need are a few good awards that show who you are, not a whole bucket full. </p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
