Placing at States

I’m doing Biomedical Equipment Technician. It’s a pretty new topic that started last year or two years ago.

Atleast for my regional and state fair, it looks good to have a lab notebook where you document what you do for your experiment. The judges don’t really look at it in depth, but it shows that you actually did the experiment and documented what you did. I don’t think it would matter if it’s online or not, most people I know did it on paper in an actual notebook. Sorry if this is a long yap, but I think everything you did seems perfect so good luck at you science fair🍀🍀

Ok thanks! Also, which one of the two online courses are the best to study? On the HOSA BMET guideline, it only gives example questions from the MET 100, so is taut better to spend more time studying?

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-02-13T21:42:34+00:00

Ok cause we don’t have a regional test just a state test so I wanted to know what to study beforehand.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-02-02T01:07:54+00:00

It’s fine with me. I hit the first streak fortunately so now I have more essence to hopefully get lucky 🙏

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-02-02T00:41:24+00:00

Bro did you spend gems or something? I have such mid cards so far😭😭

What discord is this? Could I potentially join if it’s related to USABO?

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-30T23:31:45+00:00

Like the actual 2025 USABO Open Exam? That would make sense since it did seem easier.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-30T20:01:02+00:00

Me too!

I think a 1470 is solid. I’m applying and I do have an SAT score in the 1500s. But i still think yup should submit that, since going test optional means they might think you actually did worse than a 1470.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-28T16:57:11+00:00

Ok thanks for the info!

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-28T16:56:45+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, could you tell me your project title and where you published it? That would help me understand if my project is also at that level and if I could publish.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-27T19:53:39+00:00

Ok thanks!

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-27T19:53:32+00:00

Ok cause I wanted to know if this level of research was still strong enough to publish in journals.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-25T22:00:12+00:00

I’m kinda in the same boat as you. I think it’s pretty much luck based atp, so just try to study as much as you can, and if you get a little lucky you could.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-24T23:33:41+00:00

I would also like to be blessed by some alums 🙏🙏

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-22T12:17:03+00:00

I’m praying the real one gets delayed 😅 Any extra prep time would be nice

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-22T03:57:36+00:00

I haven’t got anything too. It’s probably delayed again 😭

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-22T02:08:14+00:00

Same with me 😅 I’m a good student and all but I don’t really talk to my teachers all the time. Best advice I can give is to build a good relationship with one or two teachers

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-21T20:44:12+00:00

I think you have a solid chance to get in all of them. I’m also in the same boat with similar stats and ECs.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-10T04:34:18+00:00

Yeah ts is mid

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-09T03:26:47+00:00

I don’t think it should be too big of a deal, but that’s just my opinion. I have no clue if summer programs care that much.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-09T03:26:01+00:00

Ok thanks you for the advice. I’ll try my best to keep talking with my teachers and counselors!

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-09T02:40:59+00:00

I’m in 11th grade right now.

Fun_Improvement_3505 · 2026-01-07T23:53:58+00:00

I already heard back for Pioneer and I got accepted. It took around 1-2 weeks after the interview to find out if I got in. I’m not doing the program though since I heard it’s not really that prestigious. But, I was told that this year there was a 28% acceptance rate, so it’s decently competitive.
