<p>yes, that does suck, to be only 1 pt away. however, there’s always next year =)! yea, i got a 22 for bio olympiad; cutoff was a 26. i misread several questions. sad sad…</p>
<p>for chem olympiad, if you qualify for the national exam, that means you’re a semifinalist right? all three of us at our school made the cutoff, but only two per school get to take the national exam. my teacher submitted my name as alternate, in case one of the students can’t go. as of now i don’t know whether both of those two are going or not…i wonder if im still counted as a national exam qualifier…gah im in a lot of science activities but i think being able to put that on my app might give it an extra boost</p>
