<p>Hey all, </p>
<p>I was wondering if I should put "Homecoming King" under awards and honors for the Yale app. The reason why I'm asking is b/c I didnt want it to make me sound superficial. I was very surprised when I won it.</p>
<p>I assure you that I'm heavily involved in academic studies and leadership roles. I was just wondering if this would come off as...weird.</p>
<p>Absolutely include it. It shows that you are liked by a great majority of your peers regardless of what groups they hang out with.</p>
<p>Thanks I appreciate the quick answer.</p>
<p>Haha, yeah I was on the court for my school and I wondered that too... I think I decided I might have my guidance counselor like drop it in passing in the reccommendation as in: "Fred is well-liked by his peers, even elected homecoming king!" That way you're not even saying it so its even less awkward... but probably listing it wouldn't be a big deal either.</p>
