<p>Hey guys, I was wondering exactly what "academic" means. Would the Presidential Service Award count? If not, is there a place to put it besides the "additional information" box?</p>
<p>Also, should we include the same award in both the activities section and academic awards section? For example, if I placed 1st in an Science Olympiad event, where would I put it?</p>
<p>No need to repeat yourself. If you list an award in one place, that’s plenty. Presidential Service Award is probably best placed in the additional info section, but if you list it in a different spot it will still catch the eye of your admissions readers. If you are listing the science olympiad as an activity, you can list the award there. If not, it can go in academic honors.</p>
