Is Science Olympiad worth it?

No guy who talks to that many girls in 1st grade ends up in SO!

Not just 1st grade, no guy who talks to that many girls ever ends up in SO... and no winner, you are not an exception.

Owww. Jerk. Okay Z, you can deny that I'm an exception as much as you want, but you know it's true

Be quiet, hipster. Speaking of which, if you supposedly have a social life (yeah, right), why exactly are you here with the rest of us?

I'm not here that often! And it's not hard to spend 15 minutes a day foruming and still have a social life. You know, just sleep less.

Winner, I must beg to differ. Currently, you're #13 on the Staircase of Wasted Time, meaning that only 12 people have spent more time on here than you have. You know, winner, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

yes, it is totally worth it. me and my partner got 41st out of 45th at state in crime busters. it wasnt our fault, (long story) but we couldve been mad at science olympiad and threw the towel in, but no, its not about winning. we had a really great time, did our best, learned alot, and had a greatexperience (we were in sixth grade, our first year.). oh, and this also looks really awesome on college appilcations. now because of science olypiad, my and my partner (and my bff) are going to become forensic scientists.

(I seem to be a little late to this thread) It's definitely worth it. Most of my friends started when they were in 5th grade, the earliest grade possible to compete in Division B (at least in VA). All of my friends were raving about it but I kept declining. 2 years ago I joined. I regret not joining when I first had the chance in 5th grade.

For me, the best part was learning things early that we would cover later on in the school year. That way we would ace all of our tests
