I received the RPI medal, which is a math and science award that guarantees at least $15,000 per year merit scholarship to RPI if I apply and am accepted. However, I am not particularly interested in RPI and I wonder if being the recipient of the medal will be beneficial in my application to schools aside from RPI. Will other competitive schools look on it favorably or will they dismiss it? Thanks in advance for any replies!
