So on my UC/Common App, I won awards twice (2 years in a row) for Science Olympiad and School Academics Award.
Would I list my Science Olympiad Team 3rd place only once on the application- and say on bottom I also won last year,
Or put it as 2 seperate awards? Is that cheating?
@SREE33 it’s not cheating if you won the award twice. Is there space to list the award and then say the years you won it and how you placed without listing it two separate times? Are they two different awards? If they are separate, list each award separately and the years/ place you won.
^^ if you won the same award in different years they still count as two separate awards so list them twice.
So my team won the same award (3rd place Invitationals for Science Olympiad) this year and last year.
So do I put that in twice?
On the UC App you can only put in 1 single year, so should I put in the award twice?
also is it good to put in awards like Honor Roll and AP scholar, or are they 2 basic?
@SREE33 Yes you would enter that team award twice ie ( 3rd place Invitational 2016. and 3rd place invitational 2017)
I didn’t put AP scholar (honestly because I forgot it was thing) but if you want put it. Had I remembered last year I would’ve put it.
u guys were helpful thanks
u guys think these are solid awards for UCs
Science Olympiad Invitational 3rd- 2016
Science Olympiad Invitational 3rd- 2017
Achievement Award in Math -2016
Achievement Award in Math -2016
AP Scholar
also is it better to put AP scholar than something like School Honor Roll?
Where do awards go on the common app this year? In the past they had their own tab. At first glance it looks like they might go under activities but the character limit does not leave enough room for a description of the activity and a listing of the award. Help?!?!
To clarify, I am referring to non-academic awards (i.e. Service awards)
i think under honors (i dont it matters whether they are service or not)
i know there is like no space due to character limit so just write as less as possible
Are you able to include awards/honors for a team that you are a part of? For example, my Robotics team has won awards and competitions, but that’s a team achievement, not an individual one.
@SREE33 I would think that putting down AP Scholar would be kind of redundant, because they would already be able to tell if you got it if they see your AP scores. Same thing with honor roll; they could just look at your grades.
thx
and ye team awards can count too
