<p>Hi,
I am an international student (senior in High School) and i am applying to some universities using the common application, but i am a bit confused on what to put in the Honors section.
I spent a year in the US as a foreign exchange student during the school year of 08-09. I received numerous certificates but i am not sure what is the right way to put them:</p>
<p>1- Certificate of Appreciation from United States Department of State for participation in celebrating International Education Week.
2-Certificate of Achievement in recognition of successful completion of the Youth Exchange & Study Program (From AFS & PAX organizations)
3-Certificate of Excellence in recognition of the important role in promoting cross-cultural understanding. (From PAX organization)
4- Certificate from United States Department of State in recognition of successful competion of the U.S. Department of State's Youth Exchange and Study Program.
5- Certificate of Award (from American High School) for participation as a Foreign x-change Student.</p>
<p>As you can see they are almost identical in content, so i am not sure which is the best one to put up and how exactly to phrase it.
As for school academic honors, they're not awarded till the end of senior year (in my school) so i can't put anything yet.</p>
