Congratulations for the achievement of USNCO 2024
Hi Dr. He,
The USNCO High Honors/Honors list came out yesterday, and I am happy to say that I got Honors (top 150). Although I was aiming higher, I am still proud of my achievement in a short time span. Thank you for your help throughout this process. Specifically, your help on the lab portion of the exam made part III easy for me. I am unsure if I will take the exam again next year, but this experience was extremely fun.
- Thank You. M.R.
