<p>How much weight do academic awards carry for MIT admission?</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<p>Siemens Semifinalist
Book Awards
Intel Semifinalist</p>

<p>Also, do you think having a 92/100 unweighted average (with many AP/honors) will hurt my chances for admission?</p>

<p>Book awards? As in, you wrote a book? What was it about?</p>

<p>…I wanna write a book…</p>

<p>Books awards…pretty useless
Siemens…quite useful…but if ur applyn’ early, then intel sts isn’t going to help you…</p>

<p>Your unweighted average depends on your school rank. If everyone else gets 100s all the time because of the school’s grading system then you’re in some trouble.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t call a book award useless O.o Depends on the context.</p>

<p>Always on context.</p>
