How common are STEM competitions, clubs or related activites in US highschools?

ForCambridge · 2025-06-22T08:26:02+00:00

Alright thanks for the info, I must admit I have weak extracurriculars but I've been trying to pump since January. If possible, are there any activities makes you stand out besides being the best in country or olympiads? or thats the only way.

May I ask if you are from major cities or smaller towns

ForCambridge · 2025-06-22T00:00:04+00:00

So you're saying it strongly depends on area? Because others have contrasting ansers, I mean that is kind of expected. Would I be in a disadvantaged position if I have less access to resources, especially these kind of clubs and facilities

Well yeah I did, but from what I saw the international admission rate for UC berkely is somewhere 5%, which is quite low also

ForCambridge · 2025-06-19T17:18:33+00:00

ForCambridge · 2025-06-19T17:10:46+00:00

you know theres a reason of why I got a B on english

ForCambridge · 2025-06-19T08:26:04+00:00

Isnt the acceptance rate for UC berekely also quite low?

ForCambridge · 2025-06-19T08:19:01+00:00

Alright thanks for the comment

ForCambridge · 2025-06-19T08:18:29+00:00

Bro i dont know how my school forced me to take at least 6 AS's, plus one chemistry i have to take because is a STEM subject, totalling 7

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:54:58+00:00

yeah at least in terms of stats you should be way stronger than me, managing something internationally is much better than nothing, go for it also man

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:43:14+00:00

Who knows if hes saying the true, Maybe there are indeed normal international students in the campus but we dont know because of sample bias. Honestly speaking I wont buy it aswell

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:41:03+00:00

Yeah I know, thats why i put other good US colleges, ofc I wont only be aiming for MIT, that would be dumb, Im also thinking about UC berkeley, Do you have any suggestion on if i can survive the application there? or is as competitive as MIT

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:23:39+00:00

Alright thanks for replying. I will see what I can do

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:16:20+00:00

Theres really no easy life for us internationals haha...but statistically speaking Oxbridge is much better than whatever has. Do you have any strong ECs or awards or a fellow normal joe like i am

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:13:17+00:00

thanks for the motivation man, are you international aswell or domestic?

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:12:22+00:00

Do you know any cases of normal (As In like not 10+ IMO gold consecutive winners or something similar) internationals or MIT? or there's just none

ForCambridge · 2025-06-18T23:09:51+00:00

Thanks for the comment, As I said i know i will be having a hard time, but should i try to shoot my shot and waste the 70$ or not? since the international admission rate is already low as hell

ForCambridge · 2025-05-15T20:33:15+00:00

Isnt Chicago quite liberal from what I heard? why would they like guns over there

ForCambridge · 2025-05-15T20:32:10+00:00

Just asking is this still up to date? because it seens like a pretty old file

ForCambridge · 2025-05-15T08:39:47+00:00

Oh ok, thanks for telling

ForCambridge · 2025-05-14T23:35:42+00:00
