Academic honors or distinctions

<p>What kind of stuff do you put down for this section on the application? I don't really know what to put down, could some of you please share what you put down for this? Currently I have National Merit and AP award stuff but I can't think of anything else...ideas?</p>

<p>At our HS at the end of each year they have awards night, about a third of the class gets invited and all the teachers pick the top kids for each of their classes - highest average, most improved, etc. Those are one example.
Did you make Honor Roll? That is another.
Were you in a club and won something (1st place in a debate meet, etc)?</p>

<p>Would Science and Math Olympiad count?</p>

<p>Find the place where they fit best. If you won awards in them, mention them there.</p>

<p>ok then im confused...there really isnt much space on the extracurriculars section for speech awards and stuff</p>

<p>OK looks like academic honors is for stuff in class (like national merit, honor roll, etc), and speech and olympiads would be extracurricular. If you have too many to fit in the extracurricular, fill it in with those that you were most involved in and attach a resume with everything.</p>
