<p>Hey CC, I listed 5 awards on my common application but it's been such a long time since I won 2 of them (over a year and a half for one, and half a year for the other) that I can't seem to find them. The thing is, if colleges want to verify these awards, I have no way to prove to them that I received the awards, even though they are 100% legit. Is this going to be a problem? Should I contact the colleges I'm applying to and tell them about this? Thanks.</p>
<p>If you won the awards, there are ways to confirm them. But it’s highly (highly) unlikely that you will be forced to confirm them.</p>
