<p>ummmm yeah.....</p>
<p>the awards section of the common app scares me a bit....because i dont think i have any, lol, and i've seen people here post there stats and have numerous awards like nmsf or mu alpha theta stuff, etc....</p>
<p>i got the rensellaer medal award last year....does that count for something? lol
how about high honor roll?</p>
<p>bump..........</p>
<p>I would count both of those. The high honor roll might not be as snazzy as some of the awards here, but it shows your solid dedication to academics...can't go wrong with that. </p>
<p>Then again, I'm also an 09er and fairly clueless about this stuff, anyway. Second opinion. :) Good luck!</p>
<p>alright thanks, :), anyone else?</p>
<p>oh and what about getting nominated by my school to go to NJ governor's school in science? how about nylf nominee, boys state nominee, etc..</p>
<p>yeah, I'm personally hazy as to what qualifies as an "academic" award.
(bump)</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>Hahaha, maybe I'm being really optimistic here, but I would also count the nominations to go to conferences/events/schools as awards also. Less so than honor roll, though. If you have any "normal" awards, list those first, but you can always fill it out with nominations and school honor type things. Does that make sense?</p>
<p>yeah it does...but does anyone have a definite answer? does it look bad if i list what are seemingly menial things, or does it look even worse if i list nothing at all, lol</p>
<p>On the common app, how should I report my AP scholar award? I have written it down in the awards part of the Academics section of the application, listed that I received it 12th grade, but then I dont know what to put down under type of award (school, district/regional, national, international). Help!</p>
<p>its national isnt it?</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>bumpppppppppppp</p>
<p>please?...lol</p>
<p>I definitely think the AP Scholar Award is national. </p>
<p>bicyclekick, are you looking for more input? Sorry I couldn't be more help, I'm just as lost as you are. :)</p>
<p>is there no one who can answer??</p>
