Though my reputation isn't that high, can I still put it on my resume while applying for an admission in a premier Mathematical Institute?
Does having a good reputation on MSE counts as an achievement to be put on a resume?

3$\begingroup$ I am not sure that $400$ is above average, but if you are applying for a position where teaching skills are important, and if you feel that you have made nice contributions here, then I'd say that it could be relevant, in a section further down the end of your resume. $\endgroup$– Arnaud MortierAug 19, 2018 at 12:15

6$\begingroup$ Given that 245 of your 400 reputation points came from [having asked one question] about "visualization of the 4th dimension", leaving a gain of a net 155 from answers, I would personally advise you not to include, as an "asset"on your CV, your rep from MSE. However, if you are a highschool student, seeking admission into a math program, then it would be appropriate, in you personal statement, to include mention of extra-curricula activity on MSE, how it's helped, or honed, or clarified or deepened your appreciation for math. $\endgroup$– amWhyAug 19, 2018 at 16:43

Considering the majority of questions asked and answered on the site, it would be more appropriate to mention your reputation when applying for admission to a premier (pre-)calculus course.

2$\begingroup$ Seconding this. Including the rep per tag may help the OP. Not sure about that either. $\endgroup$ Aug 19, 2018 at 13:00
