lumo is in texas right now.

What forum members were running events, actually? Are there other alums who might be able to tell us where they are in the process?

Obviously I'm rooting for a particular team to win but I hope most of all that tests are a good enough quality that everyone feels their preparation was worth it and that we don't have any controversies with events being thrown out and stuff

Does anyone know what the best ways to split this up with a partner are? On a lot of events there are ways to split it in two but everything seems really related on this one. I agree with what everyone else has said that you should have a pretty decent knowledge of everything, I guess things like h...

Visiting is really useful, I agree with east, you should try to visit a variety of uni types to see what feels right, but I wanted to clarify for anyone that it is possible to choose a school, and make an informed choice, without visiting if visiting that particular place isn't an option.

Caltech's a much smaller place but there's no shortage of people willing to support every aspect of Science Olympiad. But that's probably just another reason why Caltech >> MIT. :P Chill...they're allowed to run their organization however they want. Y'all can talk about all the issues ya want, but ...
