Academic Honors and Programs?

<p>What exactly goes here? Community Awards? Does NHS work? What about being a teen mentor? I am doing a special project about alcohol use at my school. I was selected out my whole class to do it by my Principal. Does that count?</p>

<p>Academic excellence awards, awards for math/science/foreign lang/debate/engineering/etc. competitions; summer research programs, TASP, debate camp, math camp, etc.</p>

<p>None of the things you mentioned sound like academic honors and programs. They are ECs. And there is a special place on the application for non-academic awards, if I remember correctly. That's where the community awards should go.</p>

<p>"math/science/foreign lang/debate/engineering/etc. competitions"</p>

<p>Wait, wouldn't this go in the EC part?</p>

<p>I kind of listed them in both categories. "Science Olympiad" went in ECs, while "1st place - Rocks and Minerals, Science Olympiad" went in Academic Honors. While I'm not sure if this is totally the best way to do it, I am at Stanford today.</p>

<p>Haha! Go celestial! I had the same: Sci Oly in ECs, but awards in awards. But that's cuz I don't have that many awards at all.</p>

<p>And please don't tell me I did it wrong, cuz I already submitted =)</p>

<p>Math team, Debate team, etc. are ECs. </p>

<p>First place State Math competition is an academic award.</p>

<p>I did a summer internship in which I wrote a box office manual and trained the new office manager... could I put that in the academic awards and programs section? or would that go somewhere else?
Also, I won 4th place regional for Language Lit. competition in Academic Decathlon.. but I listed that under my Academic Decathlon EC, should I also put it in the awards section?
For the awards section now, I have National French Contest placements, AP Scholar with Honor, College Book Awards, and National Merit Semifinalist, that kind of thing... is that right?</p>

<p>Yes, that sounds right.</p>

<p>Yes, I think you should.</p>

<p>"I did a summer internship in which I wrote a box office manual and trained the new office manager... could I put that in the academic awards and programs section? or would that go somewhere else?"</p>

<p>That does not sound like an academic program in any way. It should probably go into "work experience" section, or "what did you do last summer" section.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>So do we list an award we get for an EC twice? Once in the EC section next to the activity and again on the award page?</p>
