Oct 8, 2016 · In the common app, the activities section allows space to place honors/accomplishments (in the box under position/leadership) for each activity. In addition to that, there is a separate section that allows you to name your top five honors. Most of my major honors are related to my activities, so I was going to list them under each activity. The only problem is, the honors section then would be ...

Jul 12, 2017 · For the common app honors section I could list the (bleh) “awards” I got like Honor Roll, [insert my DE university here] Dean’s List, and AP Scholar but there are some other things that mean a lot more to me and would add more to my application. I’m just worried they’re not “academic enough” even though most relate to robotics.

Aug 23, 2021 · Hey guys, the title is pretty self explanatory, but I was really just having a difficult time deciding which of my awards throughout high school I should include on my common app Honors section, since I feel like I should have variety in my awards, but also want them to stand out.

Sep 28, 2023 · Could use some helpful dialogue here. D24 is a typical CC coined “average excellent” student but we’d still like to make sure she maximizes the common app in the ways we know how. We did our due diligence in reading what to put in the 5 spots on the ‘honors’ section and came across some conflicting info. Despite the description being pretty clear to me for “any honors related to ...

Aug 7, 2017 · Hey everyone, Science Olympiad awards should go in the Honors section of the Common App, correct? I have a lot of them so I was thinking of writing “X Science Olympiad Medals (x state, x regional, x invitational; x gold, x silver, x bronze)”. This seems really wordy though. Is this good practice or is there a better way to do it? Thanks!

Oct 8, 2016 · So my D17 is asking me on the common app if the Honors section is ONLY for academics as the question implies here: “If you have received any honors related to your academic achievements beginning with the ninth grade or international equivalent, please indicate number of honors” I keep reading conflicting information such as the article ...

Dec 7, 2013 · <p>Hey, can anyone tell me where I should list CPR Certification? While it is not really an “Honor,” would that be the best place to list it? (That is found under Common App => Education => Honors). </p> <p>I definitely do not want to make that an “Activity,” as I’ve already filled the allotted 10.</p> <p>If similar threads have already been made regarding these odd-ball achievements ...

Oct 20, 2021 · Not looking for a short cut - the prompt answered for the common app was to share a struggle and and that is the same prompt on the honors app and would like to share that same struggle helpingmom40 October 20, 2021, 2:10pm

Oct 20, 2012 · <p>Right now I have it listed on Academic Honors. I’m treasurer, so I put that in parentheses. Should I also put it in the Activities section? The issue with that is that we’ve only had 2 meetings so far so I wouldn’t know what to put for hours/weeks. Also, I feel like not much needs to be explained because they’re probably very familiar with …
