<p>Hey guys, I was wondering, while filling out the Common App, what exactly would be considered an academic honor or distinction?</p>
<p>The question arose primarily because this past summer I was awarded with some really great group contest awards with some big corporations such as BET, Goldman Sachs, etc, at this Business summer program. Our group executed phenomenally</p>
<p>Do you think I should include placing 1st or 2nd in those contests amongst my academic honors/distinctions? Help veryyyy appreciated!</p>
