Choosing Top Five Honors

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

I have a problem where I don’t have any significant honors, but plenty of common ones! The CommonApp only allows you to list your top 5, and another application I’m filling out has spaces for the top 10. How should I rank these honors?

  1. National Science Olympiad Hydrogeology Medalist (11th)
  2. AIME Qualification (10th)
  3. MIT Science Olympiad Hydrogeology 4th place (11th)
  4. MIT Science Olympiad Write it Do it 4th place (10th)
  5. Governor's Honors Program Math Major (11th)
  6. ARML A2 Captain (11th)
  7. National Spanish Exam Premio de Oro (I think I was 5th in State.) (9th, 11th)
  8. USAMTS Honorable Mention (9th, 10th)
  9. FBLA State Business Math 1st place (10th--I got 3rd in 9th.)
  10. FBLA State Business Calculations 3rd place (10th)
  11. AP Scholar with Distinction Award (10th)
  12. Regional Reflections Honorable Mention (9th)
  13. District Technology Fair Programming Challenge 3rd place (10th)

I realize that the last three are extremely insignificant compared to the others, but I’m not sure if I should include them for the sake of diversity (otherwise, everything is seemingly math or science…). Thanks in advance!

You have a 100 character limit (including spaces) with each listing. You can combine some of these.
You can definitely combine 3&4, 9&10. Probably others as well, although I don’t know what they all are.

IMO AP Scholar not as important to list on CommonApp assuming you will self-report AP scores - it will be clear to the AdComm what you have achieved in that regard. (for a local scholarship application or similar however, you may want to leave that on your list).
