<p>What types of awards should one include in his/her college application? I had some four or five high school merit-based scholarships, many of which would have covered my full tuition at private schools and one of which was worth over 80,000 (for all four years). Should I include any of those in my college application? Also, my four friends and I won a group national science competition in 9th grade. I should include that, right?
And how about the National Spanish Exam? I've "won" two gold medals for the last 2 years, but I think many people get those??? I'm not Hispanic, btw.
Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Basically, put down the awards that were significant. Why not put them all down? It can’t hurt.</p>
<p>True. Whichever awards matter the most to you, put them down. Awards/honors don’t have to be stuff you did at school.</p>
