<p>So I applied to a couple summer programs the past month and already have my applications in. I recently had a decent Olympiad result (honorable mention for Chem Oly regionals) and feel like it could help boost my application. First, should I tell them about this, and secondly, how should I do it?</p>
<p>This award isn’t going to matter to your summer pgm admissions. Don’t do it.</p>
<p>Is there a difference in your advice if the summer program I’m most interested in is a local program sponsored by a local state flagship that only takes kids that live nearby?</p>
