NON-ART COMPETITIONS

Tier 2a: Very strong

I did the equivalent of ANY of the following:

I founded a competition-based club at my school and grew it to 50+ members or was president/the highest leader

I was part of a team that reached the national competition

I held state-level leadership

I won the highest individual state-level award

It's not a team competition though. About 500 of the 5000 competitors (top 10%) nationwide become Semifinalists.

Then the award is lower than this level because 500 people were awarded it. I would drop it down to 2B or 3A.
