Achievements

Even though the rest of the websites is mostly "tips and advice" for various competitions, this webpage just lists out all of my achievements (ranks and qualifications) in various competitions or otherwise. This webpage has three different sections separated chronologically.

At MIT (after high school)

I have to confess that I am slightly disappointed by the lack of quantitative achievements after entering college. This might be because college life is not as dominated by competitions as high school life. However, I am happy with my friends at MIT and the research I have performed.
