Common app question

<p>Can we list honors or awards that are still pending?</p>

<p>for example I want to do Intel STS, but I won't find out until feb if I am a semi finalist or finalist. Is it ok for me to put:
Intel Science Talent Search (pending)</p>

<p>??</p>

<p>no;
if you get it (in late jan), it wouldn't be too late to save your application, and i'd imagine they cross-compare their pool with the winners.</p>

<p>what if I am applying EA?
and I am doing some apps that are due Dec 1</p>

<p>Um, still not a good idea. Awards aren't meaningful until you've won them. To list the competition as "pending" seems kind of cocky.</p>

<p>ok thanks!</p>

<p>I am just not going to talk about it. If I am a semi-finalist/finalist <em>cross fingers</em> :) I will just send it in separatly then</p>
