<p>hey everyone! I'm currently trying to fill out my common app...and am running into a few roadblocks. I was wondering if anyone here could provide some insight...</p>
<p>-Where do we list awards and such? I realize there are spots for "honors" under the activities, but what about school awards?</p>
<p>-Is NHS an award or an EC?</p>
<p>-Do activities have to be listed in order of importance?</p>
<p>-The activities section has a box for leadership positions and the name of the organization, if applicable...does this mean that if we did not have a position, then we just list the name of the activity, i.e. equestrian?</p>
<p>-can we group together activities, ex volunteer work? </p>
<p>These are all FAQs that have been answered numerous times on here (and are in the common app help section for many of them).There is a separate honors section with 5 spots. Activity honors should be listed with the activities. NHS depends on your school. Do you actually have meetings and do volunteering for NHS? then it is an activity, otherwise its an award. Activities should be listed in order of importance (in the common app instructions), but I don’t know if people necessarily follow that. Yes, you put the name of the activity if you don’t have a position. Yes, you can group activities.</p>
<p>hi-on my uni requirements list (from their website) it says that i need a secondary school report (which should include my guidance counselor recommendation, transcripts and high school profile)-but i have no idea on where i can get this. is there any common app form for this, or is it sth my counselor has to write from scratch? HELP! PLEASE!</p>
