<p>Hi, I'm applying to Stanford online. There is limited space for the Academic Honors section, so I'm having problems shortening it. I want to say "American Scholastic Mathematics Exam Top Scorer" but that won't fit. If I just say "ASME Top Scorer" will they know what that means? Has anyone else heard of the ASME before? Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>Is there space for "AS Math Exam top scorer"? At least that way they would have <em>some</em> idea what it means. I know there's one person who deals with math people in particular (ones who seem to have strong potential in math), so there's a good chance he'd know, but your 1st reader probably wouldn't. If you can get across an idea of what it is, that's probably your best bet.</p>
<p>thank you so much!</p>
<p>follow marlgirl's advice :-)</p>
<p>what was the character limit, again? something like 30 chars?</p>
<p>"Amer. Scholastic Math Exam Top Scorer"
should fit, right down to the last character...
:D</p>
<p>I got the "Daughters of the American Revolution Outstanding History Student Award"... I shortened it to "Daughters of the Am. Rev. Award"... so, yeah, I feel your pain. Or do you guys think they would know what "DAR" stands for?</p>
<p>Ugh! I feel like such an idiot! I definately could have fit "American Scholastic Math Exam Top Scorer." Oh well, I already submitted it. I guess they'll have to try to figure out what "AS Math Exam" means. :(</p>
