Common App Questions

<ol>
<li>Should I self report any tests, if at all?</li>
<li>What exactly constitutes as an "academic honor"?</li>
<li>If choir was a class, should it also be listed in the extracurriculars if I held a leadership position?</li>
<li>If I received credit for doing research, should I dive deeper into it in the activities section?
Thanks ahead of time for people who answer, and apologies ahead of time if this is the wrong forum for this!</li>

<p>1) If you took SAT Subject Tests/AP Exams/IB Exams and scored well, then yes. It reflects well on your behalf. (Subject tests show up on official score reports anyhow)
2) Awards you received pertaining to academics (ex. high score on National French Exam)
3) No, unless you had a choral group strictly outside of class that had nothing to do with your actual class.
4) Probably. </p>

<p>For #3, it depends. Most likely there will be concerts after school. For band and orchestra, students would put that under EC too even they are also classes in school. After all, this is the only place to indicate your achievement.</p>

<p>Actually, #3 should be listed. Just because it takes class time, doesn’t mean its not an EC. Its music!</p>

<p>I listed my leadership positions in both band and chorus. I’d say go for it.</p>
