刚刚看到一个主帖想评估一下娃的stats。还没来得及回复，已经删了。所以，我再发一遍这个奖项评估/Scores，仅供参考。

如有可能，请noles版主置顶。谢谢！

这个单子上的条款对于大学申请既非充分也非必要，有一定的误导性。我知道一个亚裔女孩I某O的银牌，USACO的gold。还有一堆的奖项和EC。申请Harvard被拒了。这就是发生在这一两年的事情。很难知道知道AO看重的是什么。

Lessons learned: 不管你家孩子多牛，backup一定要做足。

这些奖项的权重挺准的，但申请运气也很重要，还有essay，不是有了这些奖就一定会如何如何..

谢谢。顶置了。

1. 对，这个是您放在精华区里面的内容的增补版本；
2. 我们会对COSMO做一些研究，然后再把它补充进去。

谢谢！

这个有意思，细想也make sense。

前面提到了FIRST 机器人比赛，除了Dean’s List，其它都是团队的比赛奖，有那么看重吗？另外其它的机器人比赛，比如VEX 应该也差不多级别吧？
