Deciding which awards to put on Common App

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

I’m having trouble deciding which 5 awards/honors to put on my Common App. Almost all are at the state level or school, which is problematic in ranking terms.

Which do the peeps of CC think are the best to put down?

List of Awards:

  • American Legion School Medal Award for Academic Excellence, 9th grade (school gave me as part of nat'l program)
  • High honor roll, multiple subject awards, 9th grade (school level)
  • Elected Assemblies Officer, Student Gov't, 9th grade (school level)
  • Utah State Champion Future Problem Solving , 9th grade (state level, but little competition)
  • 2nd Place Scenario Writing Future Problem Solving, 9th grade (ditto)
  • Position Paper Prize, BYU MUN 2015, 10th grade (state level)
  • 2nd Place Culture Bowl, BYU French Language Fair 2016, 10th grade (state level)
  • Special Mention Poetry Recitation Level 4, BYU French Language Fair 2016 (ditto)
  • 1st Place Reading Comprehension Level 2, BYU French Language Fair 2016 (ditto)
  • Superior Delegate Award, Utah MUN Conference 2016 (state level)
  • 2nd Place Culture Bowl, BYU French Language Fair 2017, 11th grade (state level)
  • National Honors Society membership, 11th grade (school level)
  • Elected National Honors Society president, 11th grade (school level)
  • AP Scholar w. Distinction, 11th grade (nat'l I guess but not that important)

Some of these belong more in the EC category than honors:

  • Elected Assemblies Officer, Student Gov't, 9th grade (school level) - EC
  • National Honors Society membership, 11th grade (school level) - EC
  • Elected National Honors Society president, 11th grade (school level) - EC

Then maybe you could bundle the French honors into one place, the writing/poetry in another, and the MUN in another. I’d probably leave off the honor roll stuff, I’d include the AP Scholar with Distinction
