Awards Questions

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hi there!</p>

<p>I’m filling out the common app for Stanford. I know that they do not want any additional information, but I have extra awards that won’t fit in the 5 slots provided. Is it okay to list them in the additional info section? Or will Stanford not read it? If not, which of the awards do you think I should list?</p>

<li>National Spanish Exam Level 1 - 1st Place in State </li>
<li>National Spanish Exam Level 2 – 99th percentile, Gold Medal Winner</li>
<li>National French Contest Level 3 – 2nd Place in the Pacific Region, 4th Place nationally</li>
<li>Ayn Rand Anthem Essay Contest – 2nd Place</li>
<li>AMC 10 – 2nd Place in School</li>
<li>Harvard Prize Book</li>
<li>State Math League – Cumulative High Scoring Student</li>
<li>National Merit Semifinalist</li>
<li>National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholar</li>
<li>AP Scholar</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>definitely not AMC 10 2nd place, that's pretty unimpressive. same with the math league. I like the national exams/contests though. I'd put the NMSF and AP scholar only if you don't have much else to write. I think you'd have room to put all your awards in additional info though</p>
