<p>I'm applying early action to Georgetown and I was taking a look at the 2009 application.</p>
<p>Where, generally speaking (common application) or specifically speaking (Georgetown application), do you list any awards or honors you received? I only see spaces for extracurricular activities, school activities, etc. </p>
<p>What were some innovative ways you were able to incorporate elements into your application that necessarily weren't asked for?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I know that students generally send the following items:</p>
<ol>
<li>Personal Data form</li>
<li>Student Application</li>
<li>Secondary School Report</li>
<li>Midyear School Report</li>
<li>Teacher's Report </li>
<li>School Transcript</li>
<li>Teacher Recommendations</li>
</ol>
<p>Did anyone else submit other papers to add more to the application or discuss a particular aspect of his or her life?</p>
<p>definitely include personal awards -- probably in the EC section if it were for a particular activity -- in terms of innovative ways to incorporate elements into your app that werent explicitly asked for, the essays are probably the best way to do that...good luck!</p>
<p>The common application has a section for awards, I don't know about Georgetown....</p>
<p>The Common Application does provide space for extra curricular activities. In that section, it says to provide any major events/accomplishments/honors etc. </p>
<p>For example, I want to include that fact that a won a major essay contest. Where would I put that? Its not necessarily an activity and the Georgetown application has no place to indicate that honor. Would admission officials be annoyed if I attached my own personal resume? </p>
<p>I think the question I am trying to ask is..is it accepted to send in any other materials that you feel is necessary to complete your "folder"?</p>
<p>ace 22 tennis, look right above the section where you list activities. It says </p>
<p>"Honors. 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>That's where it goes. I don't see it on the Georgetown application, though. </p>
<p>If it is necessary to send in extra materials send it, but most likely it won't be necessary.</p>
<p>I just noticed the honors section on the Common Application and that is so convenient. I am surprised the Georgetown Application doesn't have that section - and they do not accept the Common Application. </p>
<p>How would you go about solving this problem with the Georgetown Application? There are several awards I want to tell them about but I can't find a place for them.</p>
<p>Georgetown's lack of a place to put honors suggests that the university doesn't care or want a list of awards. I recommend that you give the admissions office a quick call.</p>
