My 10th grader is planning to apply for CS at SLO and some UC’s in two years. Are AIME qualifier and USACO Platinum awards really impactful and critical in college admission? Should he list USACO Silver, USACO Gold, and USACO Platinum as separate awards or just USACO Platinum as a single award?

In addition, are COSMOS programs worthy to attend for summer programs? We are debating if he should apply for COSMOS or other summer activities.
