1) you shouldn’t be trying doing your best/testing your knowledge/going for accomplishments simply for college…

2) YESSSS they are both VERY, VERY legitmate haha; U.S Olympiads = top level of whatever subject its testing.

3) With that being said, it won’t guarantee into super competitive colleges (Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, etc. etc.). But then again, almost NOTHING will. I had friends get into MIT without any US whatever, and friends with 4x USAMO get deferred and waitlisted. Work hard on the rest of your app and keep doing your best though, these 2 qualifications will add ALOT of weight to your application. Good luck, sophomore…(or freshmen? haha overachiever!!! I’m pretty impressed :D)
