I cannot remember if ceremony was at Carnegie Hall in New
York city one year. It was packed.
Each student can bring two guests. Chuck Schumer 's daughter gave a short speech that year.
People are jealous of those with 2 or more medals on their necks. They make unique clicking sound. lol
My kid ran into another American Korean medal winner from our state. She nominated her to SPARC camp that year and she got in as a college kid. SPARC camp took college students that year (not sure of policy now).
和数学的AIME在人数上差不太多。
Arts的Portfolio Winners不到10个人，Writings也不到10个人。
比Moppers还少，怎么会没有用呢？
比如前两年那个写作娃。数学CS比赛起码自己对自己的水平有个估计，这种艺术文科竞赛，只能靠数量和概率和运气了。当然水平首先得在线。
社会上这么多出色的艺术家一年也就能挣个5，6万糊糊口。这些人比多数Scholastic获奖的不知强多少倍
很蹩脚的码工挣20万，30万，40万或更多的大有人在
不管是银的金的，还是挺不错的
尤其是writing
在UCB，是一个艺术组织搞的。后来因为没有资金或者人力，合并为西部大区，包括好多个州。
而全国范围内，有很多不同的小区，都是有能力就可以申办。那么问题来了，到底每个地区的获奖数量怎么定？评判标准怎么定？
再加上近一些年以来的政治正确，获奖的标准是否有另外一层因素？
本来就文无第一，所以不能太当真。
但是应不应该参加比赛，参加多少？我觉得要看孩子自己。不然就是双刃剑。
至于在升学过程中的作用，不仅仅看一次成绩，而是要表现出完整的package-----对艺术的热爱表现在选课、义工、比赛、业余爱好等等方面。讲一个故事，不能讲散了（样样都参加比赛，样样都好不一定效果好）。
也许我的观点过时了，不过是我的体会。
不是慈善家
on the Honors Roll, nothing more than that.

多少人过去5年曾经得过Medal？
文科娃就更需要显示实力，能拿奖才好。
拿到金牌的会被邀请到纽约卡内基音乐厅参加颁奖典礼，有人脖子上挂好几块，在人群里走来走去叮当作响，很是招风，哈哈
俺家的写作画画摄影啥都参加，啥都得过金银钥匙。放一堆也有点份量吧。就是往上走就不行了。水平不够就是不够。
是哪一位呀？ 能狗到吗？
理科强的娃，很多活动是理科方面的，如果写作也强
那也是个很强的补充
