自己娃的EC，哪些成就有多大影响，家长一般心里有数吧？其他娃的EC成就有多高，这个自然没必要了解。想了解的也就是个八卦的目的而已。
所以要不想参与，当然可以不参与。要想参与，只要了解自己娃的具体情况就够了，这些额外的东西帮助不大。
🛋️ 沙发板凳
确实有的地方过时了。不知道哪里有没有最新的版本呢？有链接的话我可以修改首楼。
哪一项里面的？第几行？
能参加这些national竞赛的，比如National History Day都是要经过regiaon和state淘汰的。
如果得奖才算，是前几名呢？是semi finalist, 还是finalist, 还是top 3？
具体哪里过时了？我觉得大部分还是靠谱的。
马克
好帖留名
这个表其实挺准的。层次非常分明，比方以TOC 举例来说 National Qualifier ( 参赛资格）是6；参加全国比赛后过了淘汰轮 就是7；在全国比赛中拿到前几名就是9. 9的话在申请大学中绝对有力，而7或8的话也是有一定分量的 （8实际上分量很重了）。
另外对很多大家耳熟能详的奖项也做了有效的界定：比方说AIME 的qualifer 只给了5，NMF只给了4 .... 等等
BROWN 已经是牛校了呀。
USACO Platinum 在这个表中是7，确实属于可上可下的奖项。
science fair，DECA等等都可以拼爹。。。
他哥大肯定是录的，选择布朗有原因。
应该各个族裔分别搞一张，建模型都需要segment
DECA怎么拼爹？
两个学校课程设置正好是反着的，一个core curriculum 一个open curriculum
除非是（1）顶私和那些有名的藤校feeder school，或者（2）有大领导力，在藤校喜欢的高中里是学校老师极力推荐的红人。
你说的这些我都没有。
你是说你自己上大学的时候？那至少十几年前了吧？那是老黄历了，现在情况早就totally不一样了。
谢谢分享
辩论9那档是winner，指的是第一名。

在自己父母实验室或者公司做出来成就都没用。所以这大佬们都是资源互换，互相换孩子带。
这个表少说有5年了，5年时间录取情况变化已经非常大了，当亚裔在努力搞大奖的时候,其他族裔基本放弃，你可以看看美国各种学术代表队基本都是亚裔去打。不是说这些奖项含金量下去了，除了USACO，现在应该都是越来越难了，而是说录取的weight 降低了。 我们学校去年有mopper 申请数学系被MIT据了，孩子本身GPA也不低的，而且我们是feeder，以前这种情况都是躺进。
这些个人大奖都是很花时间的，不是每个孩子都是balance GPA和大奖，而且5年后情况不知道会变成啥样，各位孩子还小的，看看就行了。最重要的是培养孩子的兴趣。
P.S.这表最开始应该是在文学城的论坛，有心的家长可以去问现在的情况。
不是，文学城没有什么original 的东西。这个表是十几年前College Confidential forum里整理出来的。
用来调侃的
Meta hacker cup，我家最小的男孩11年级进到round 2，年龄限制不能继续。他说跟USACO gold难度差不多。他是今年入大学的。供参考。
哈哈哈，那当然，我娃才4岁，我已经想好让他将来去哪个我在美国当教授的亲友那混文章了。高中时再花钱给他买个非洲volunteer的经历和一帮黑孩子照个相，完美～
请问是文学城哪个板块？我去看看
一看这个就不是文学城的老留能编出来的。还是去看college confidential或者reddit吧
Google Code Jam Qualifier 是 6 (6.5）， Google Code Jam Round 2, 3 Qualifier 是 8. Standley 那个CASE 是Google Code Jam semifinal, 没说清是上面那个。 既然是semifinal, 应该是上面的8，那样的话确实亏大了。
这个 Mopper 后来去了别的 T5了吗？现在Mopper都不能进MIT 了，太夸张了
Google Code Jam这个比赛去年已经取消了
花滑的性价比好像是有点差，Karen Chen 有全国冠军的，也只去了Cornell
哦，看来那个表确实要与时俱进了
有两个不是olympian的figure skaters去的是harvard, 一个是Christina Gao, 另一个是Gabbie Izzo。Sarah Hughes去的是Yale, Emily Hughes好像去的是Harvard。虽然T5或HMS的prestige是很多人看重的，我觉得性价比并不是只能进了T5才会被体现。不过我觉得像花滑这类的体育娃全家长期投入都很大，只看升学的话大部分不值得，孩子没有爱好毅力和天赋都是坚持不下去的。
10分里的1-3是被人加进去搞笑的吧。
那个michigan练花滑的女孩不是本来进了斯坦福，结果因为和老爹吵架被抓最后去了cc
这个我一直不知道是不是真的，除了中文媒体其它地方都没有提到过。这孩子当年11年级应该还没有开始申请大学，花滑也不是NCAA的运动项目，其他人包括Nathan Vincent Karen都是应届申请的, 我觉得以她的花滑成绩不太可能提前一年被Stanford录取。
按照这个，你家娃就废了
藤校的招生不是按这个来的
奖项不是全部，profile 的自洽是最重要的
亚裔这个里面搞的越多，越像彼此，越有反作用
假的，根本不可能花滑被提前录取，无良中文媒体信口胡说。
有水平，言之有物。

申请大学时各种荣誉称号
但事实上，这些信息实际上主要对旁观者有用。真的和孩子一起一步一步走到那个地步的人，基本上心里都有数了。特别是对孩子主打的EC项目，家长还能真不知道自己孩子这一领域各种成就大概是什么程度么？比如，孩子拼音乐的，谁会真的不知道all nation大概是什么层次？all state是个什么层次？（实际上这表里没有列出更高的，比如Young Artist。。。至于那些专业自己的大奖，就更不用说了）
连这些都不知道的家长，也不用看这种表了。就算看，也就是为了自个儿爽一把或者能有个谈资而已。
马拉拉就是诺贝尔奖
