Honor to list on common app?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I am applying to top 20 schools including the majority of the top 10 schools and I have a question about listing an honor on my common app.</p>

<p>I have been taking part in research for about 4 months and I was invited by my professor to attend the World Stem Cell Conference. At the conference, my research was displayed in a poster that was seen by the thousands of attendees (researchers, businessmen in the biotech industry).</p>

<p>Please note that this was NOT a publication, and I was not presented with any material award. It was simply displayed at the conference for a period of 4 days in which it lasted.</p>

<p>Could I convey this as "honors or academic distinctions" in the common app in any way? And if I could, it would be considered "international" correct because it was an international conference?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Anyone? Please?</p>

<p>Lool. That’s really pushing it. I would definitely mention it somewhere, but not as an honor just because you could check off international.</p>

<p>Alright, thanks for the input. Lol it would be nice to check off international for that, or at the least list it as an honor, but I wasn’t sure so that’s why I’m here asking</p>

<p>It’s really more appropriate for the activities section and it’s quite interesting and impressive, so you could write about it in your short essay.</p>
