How good is this?

Applying to College

<p>I am a co-captain/president of my high schools engineering team. </p>

<p>We are currently nationally recognized by the following things:</p>

<p>2nd in the nation in the National Engineering Design Challenge twice, in 2007 and 2006
Received a $6000 grant from MIT’s Inventeams program, 2007
Champion of MCC high school engineering competition, 2005</p>

<p>In being captain of the team and playing active roles in the teams success, I was curious as to how this helped in the admission process. </p>

<p>I know that national awards/ recognition are important for HYPSM, but I do not have national awards beyond AIME and National AP scholar after junior. I DO, however, lead my nationally recognized high school engineering team. </p>

<p>Is the national recognition of my team of which I lead enough to be a strong pull to HYPSM?</p>

<p>Another question is, how does being on the team as a regular member help? Does it at all?</p>

<p>thanks for posting this? it will help, obviously. nobody here can tell you how much though, so i’m not sure what you’re asking?</p>

<p>Does this help in the same way being nationally recognized individually for something such as piano language or math.</p>
