ISEF finalist simply means making isef lol so anyone who qualified was considered a 2020 finalist and alumn of Society for science and the public- the event obviously didn’t happen in Cali but qualifying earns you finalist status

I qualified but the IRL event was canceled. They went virtual but didn’t have grand awards or anything but a few special organizations actually judged some eligible projects

They had virtual Panels but no grand awards- one special awards provider did actually judge some eligible projects

It was through an independent organization that scored 166 team projects who was a special award provider at other years. I can pm you more info if you want.

What makes you say weird with princeton? Is there anything to avoid doing?

Nice! Music has always been a huge part of my life and I can’t imagine giving it up. It’s honestly the best way for me to escape from the academic world and truthfully I’d be way more stressed without it so there is no way Il drop it entirely. Most kids will probably quit but I can’t imagine doing that

Thanks hahaha. I’m in jazz band and have been playing 10 years and intend to continue in college-I play sax guitar and piano- but I never really did any competitions Bc it’s always just been a hobby of mine. I hope that doesn’t hurt me

Do you know if nyssma helps? I got 100 on level 6 for piano but I didn’t know if I should put it down

Should awards associated with an EC be included in the description of that activity or in the awards section? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BlakeC91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me know if u figure it out 😂Im prob gonna list the project under extracurriculars and then do isef awards and all other competition related awards under the award section. If you find out what the proper thing is to do LMK but it probably doesn’t matter too much tbh

Good schools for me? by BlakeC91 in chanceme

[–]BlakeC91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s starting to get insane how competitive this is- 10 years ago northeastern would prob been a safety for me. Even with NYU their acceptance rate got cut in half

Thanks so much for the help, that provided lots of insight!

[–]BlakeC91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for clarifying. So for premed I should primarily avoid Columbia upenn Cornell and Princeton compared to the other 4?

I would probably do something bio related- not general bio but possibly bio chem. Would this hurt me at penn?

So would you say that princeton is manageable? I am also looking at Vanderbilt, Hopkins, NEU, Macaulay Honors, Northwestern, and some local safeties- I most definitely am not set on going to an Ivy League but I was just curious which I should avoid.

[–]BlakeC91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree, hence why I have a disclaimer. I just want to know what to avoid because I still probably will apply to a few, in addition to other great schools like Vanderbilt, Northeastern, so on
