Thanks lookingfwd. Could you elaborate on your points on “rare, high performing kids who didn’t have the same opportunities as others”? Sorry that I do not quite understand what you mean. Are you referring to programs like RSI, ROSS which are not awards/scholarships but certainly “proves” a student’s caliber?
Sorry about my ignorance on “Coca Cola”. Just started researching this whole scholarship for admissions thing. Would going down the list on the list below increase my “savvy” hopefully? Any other worthwhile list to go thru?

My child just made National AP, with one 4 in biology, seven 5s in math, physics, cs, history, etc. He is academically strong, but lacks accomplishments like IMO, Siemens or Intel, etc. So he would be in the same pool as many other kids.
