<p>When it says that, does it mean...</p>

<p>Academic Distinctions
or
Honors</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>Academic Distinctions
or
Academic Honors?</p>

<p>Like...could I write down I won an award in DECA or an award in a journalism competition? Or athletic accomplishments?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>What section of the Common App is this in?</p>

3

<p>Academics.</p>

4

<p>yes, any awards like that. Take credit for everything! Just spell it all out since college may not necessarily know what DECA is, for example.</p>

5

<p>I would only include athletic awards that had a GPA component in the "Academic Honors" section. Once you get to the ExtraCurricular section, you can specify all of your athletic awards.</p>
