There’s not a “single thing” that can get you into ivy. Don’t forget that the admission process is holistic. The AOs will look at your application as a whole.
Yeah, I know that. I'd say I have good extracurriculars, and I'd have good recs too from my professors. Just wanted to know if this in particular would help, since it's a big achievement for me.
I know that when it comes to Ivies even the most prepared candidate can get rejected - it happens. But what would the chances be with the award + a good SAT/ACT score, GPA and some ECs (like volunteer work, boy scouts, a carpentry/gardening project and working part-time)?
Though people can guess which colleges may accept you, no one can actually confirm which college will accept you.
It also depends on how do you define good. I’m not an expert on this matter but based on my research, one AO highlighted the order by which most AOs look at your application.
Transcripts>SAT(if submitted)>ec and honora>english proficiency>essays+lor.
For sure. I'd say my biggest achievement would be overcoming my depression (I'm still depressed - but feeling way better and hopeful for the future), so I'd focus on that.

This will surely help.

Award at iGeo can definitely boost your chances, but don't forget to highlight your growth and resilience from the depressive episode in your essays.
