Oh…in that case the chance of you getting on the team is probably 99%, but I’m telling you that medaling even at Regionals, without a partner will be hard. Since your school does not regard Science Olympiad that importantly, try to choose something you are both interested in, and your school has potential for.

Or, you could take a leap and try and make your school more competitive in Science Olympiad. I know Florida is a relatively noncompetitive state, so the difficulty of getting a regional and state title is much easier than my state (Pennsylvania). You could promote your school’s Science Olympiad and let other people know what it is, and try to find a dedicated adult sponsor.

It is OK if you don’t know anything about the topic, if you want to start now, you should, since Florida’s Invitationals (practice competitions) are in November and December, and the Regionals (qualifying competition) are in either January or February.

I understand if you don’t want to do Science Olympiad for the reasons you mentioned, but if you do, I can help you and offer you tips.
