<p>I emailed commoanpp help asking the same question and he said as long as it's fine on the PDF it doesn't matter. I don't know WHY it says otherwise then. But still, I have asked many an adcom and they all seem to not really care about format. I mean really, this is their job, and they want the best students. Formatting says nothing about your personality or intelligence.</p>
<p>I would do it like </p>
<p>-a
-b
-c</p>
<p>if I were you though (heh that's what I'm doing). It looks a little long on my application since I have almost 40 lines....</p>
<p>Yeah about 40 awards. About 6-8 are not real "awards" but actually like scores on the state math competition and the AMC, but there's nowhere else on the application to put them, so I just phrase them as awards since some of them are like "highest in state" or like "4th place statewide."</p>
