Nerds unrecognized at Columbia?

I’m aiming to qualify for the national math Olympiads (USAMO) and the national chemistry Olympiads (USNCO) next year, but will it matter at all? Only the top 1% get into USAMO and less than 10% get into USNCO, so it’s pretty competitive. I’m doing well academically and I have a decent amount of ECs, but I’m worried if Columbia won’t care for qualification to those Olympiads. :
