Okay, I’m just very unfamiliar with the Common App format and currently have no one who I could ask for help.
I read through most of the threads on the Common App Honors section, and I’m still pretty confused on what I should put down for my academic honor awards. What should I say for the level of recognition??
Also, what would be the most beneficial to put down??? I am applying to Harvard, UChicago, Yale, Johns Hopkins, etc. I’m emphasizing my love for the arts and learning in my common app.
I am currently in…
-NHS, Spanish Honors Society, our school’s honor society, this National Society for Journalists (not sure what it’s officially called), National Forensic League (degree of excellence)
-Presidential Volunteer Awards (gold and bronze) (if I can put this in, should I put it separately or as together?)
-2015 Caring Youth Award (regional)
-Honor Rolls all three years at my school
-AP Scholar with Distinction award
-Superior for State-Section music contest festival for Chamber Orchestra and Solo
-Silver Key for Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Poetry
(would it be possible to put down writing awards as part of my self-directed writing EC?)
-First Place for Minnesota Manningham Poetry Contest (Senior Division)
-Middle Level Honors Orchestra participation (9th grade)
Thank you for any kind of feedback!!!
