Statistics competition at Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech’s School of Industrial and Systems Engineering is accepting entries for its annual Olympiad of Probability and Statistics. The competition, which began in 2022, gives high-school students the chance to compete for cash prizes and scholarships to Georgia Tech’s Mission Possible summer camp.
When I posted about this competition in its inaugural year, I wrote that students needed to have taken AP Statistics to qualify. One of the directors recently reached out to me to say that’s not correct. Although the exam the competitors take is based on what’s covered in the College Board AP Statistics exam, students can compete whether or not they have taken the class.
The first round of the competition will be held online on April 3, 2026. Those who advance will compete in a second round on the Georgia Tech campus on April 24, 2026.
The registration deadline is January 21, 2026.
