North America Competitions

Book Trial Class

Students should know that in order to apply for popular majors in well-known universities, an average score of more than 90 is the most basic requirement. So when everyone’s average score is almost more than 90, how can we stand out from thousands or even tens of thousands of students and be selected and admitted by the admissions officer?

First of all, we need to find some activity to boost our resume, one of the most effective activities is to participate in a North America competition. Of course, the competitions mentioned here are competitions certified by top schools, and the results of these competitions are often a useful means to distinguish outstanding students.

In the eyes of admissions officers of top universities, the average score is only one of the assessment goals, and they prefer to see more proof of academic strength. We take the Waterloo math competition as an example, which explains in detail on the website that the advantages of participating in the competition have a total of four points:

  • Qualify for a scholarship
  • Stand out from university applications
  • Prove your academic ability by certificate
