How on earth do you read those questions and conclude they want contest winners? I don’t see that at all.

The science supplement is read by faculty members in those disciplines. They want to see student responses. The science supplement has been around for decades.

I haven’t seen numbers in several years, but the acceptance rate for hard science majors used to be slightly higher than the average. But you really have to show sustained interest in science and have strong grades in the subject areas and relevant ECs.
