you should probably do one (or more) of the olympiads (biology, chemistry, math, physics, computer science), as those are generally the most recognized contests in math and science. Science Olympiad is pretty minor. Don’t wait for ap classes and whatnot, those don’t help much anyways. Math is probably the hardest, and requires the most natural talent. I’m not very familiar with physics and computer science. Biology is the easiest in terms of thinking, but you need to be committed enough to memorize a couple textbooks cover to cover. Chemistry is probably the easiest subject overall, as the knowledge requirements is less than biology, and the calculations are much easier that math and physics.
