You can add to the list, "Putnam Fellow." And, not only was he a fellow, he apparently trounced the scores of the other 4 fellows:

    "Anyway, I was among the first five. I have since found out from 
     somebody from Canada, where it was scored, who was in the scoring 
     division—he came to me much later and he told me that it was 
     astonishing. He said that at this examination, 'Not only were you 
     one of the five, but the gap between you and the other four was 
     sensational.' He told me that. I didn’t know that. That may not 
     be correct, but that’s what I heard."

Feynman's grasp of mathematics was astounding
