Transcript excerpt

National Honor Society. Yes tier is what I would say if I were an idiot. Tier, this is just your GPA, everyone has it. Student government. D tier, honestly no that valuable unless you're president. ISEF or Olympiad award. S tier, this is really selective and genuinely very valuable if you get it. Independent research. I'm gonna say A tier, very valuable if you get published in a high school or college level journal. Volunteering at a no profit. C tier, not that valuable and a lot of people have these type of volunteer opportunities. Working part time job. B tier, pretty rank, especially for privileged students, and it's great if you show consistency over a few years.
