Hello!
In the 150-character description box of the activities section of the common app, do I have to type “awards in additional info section”? I am trying to put my awards for a club in the additional info section, since it won’t fit anywhere. I just don’t know if I have to clarify that in the 150-character description box.

Are you saying that by including your description of the award would exceed the 150-character limit, or you prefer to describe it in the additional info section? Shouldn’t the award description be in the “Honors” box?
Describing the awards will exceed the 150-character limit, so I might put them in the additional info section. In the “Honors” section, there’s only a box for the Honors title and two checkboxes for the grade level and levels of recognition, so I am not sure if I can list all of the awards for that specific club in that single box.
Don’t put anything into the additional info box relating to awards. That box is reserved for things such as extended absences from school or things that significantly impacted your education. Also, you should separate the awards even if they are for the same club in order to be able to fit the descriptions in the boxes.
