Common App Honors Section?

<p>I know this has been asked before, but all the threads I looked at were answering peoples specific questions that didn't necessarily apply to me.</p>

<p>1) Honor Societies: Should I put Honor Societies in the "Honors" section? I am a member of the Journalism, Math, and National honor societies at my school. I know a lot of schools look down on just being a member of honor societies, but at my school you have to be very involved and there are induction requirements and all that. So how should I show that? Put them in the Extra Curricular section? </p>

<p>2) If I do put them in "Honors" section, I assume they are considered national (under the "Highest Level of Recognition" section)?</p>

<p>3) I am also an officer for 3 other honor societies, but I haven't been an officer every year in those societies. For example, I am the Spanish Honor Society president, but I wasn't the president for the other 3 years I've been a member, so I can't write that and check it off for all four years. What should I do? </p>

<p>4) What are some other things that are considered Honors?</p>

<p>I listed the honor societies under ECs because they all require significant time commitments and I have officer positions in them. I listed “AP Scholar with Distinction” and other related awards in the Honors Section. Hope that helps :)</p>
