College applications ask for details regarding extracurricular activities. Students can use their math competition experiences here or in the essay portion of their applications. Essay questions may ask students to share a story about themselves that is central to their identity, to describe a place or environment where they are perfectly content, or to discuss an accomplishment or event that marked their transition from childhood to adulthood. If students believe that their math victories apply, they can use the essay prompts to illustrate their abilities for the Admissions boards.
