"academic distinctions or honors"

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>On the Common App, it asks to "Briefly list any academic distinctions or honors you have received since the 9th grade or international equivalent (e.g., National Merit, Cum Laude Society)."</p>

<p>I'm guessing AP Scholar would be one? What about awards given by the school to those who have a 3.7+ ... should I even bother putting them on? I'm just a little confused on what they asking for - probably because I haven't been awarded in such a fashion. Some examples would be appreciated. </p>

<p>Also, I believe that my perfect attendance award says a lot about my commitment to school. Where is the appropriate place to list this, if any?</p>

<p>I would primarily list State/National honors. AP Scholar is an excellent choice to put down in the list. For an example I put down like National Honor Society, CAPT Scholar, etc, etc. If you wanted to list those school awards and achievements I would place them under additional info. I remember last year you had 3,000 characters or could even upload a resum</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t think perfect attendance will have any significance. It could indicate that you attend school when you are sick; or have an amazing immune system and never get ill.</p>
