<pre><code> I was just wondering what I should put in the honors category, and what I should put in the EC category on the CommonApp. Would Eagle Scout be considered an honors or EC? Would MUN awards be considered honors or go under EC (in the description for clubs)? Also, would MVP in a sports league be put under Honors or EC? And if it is under EC, would it be put in the postition section (where it says position, employer, etc.) or in the descriptions? Sorry for the questions, but I have been searching online and have found multiple different answers, so I was looking for another opinion.

<p>It would be counted as an honor (or you could just go ahead and list it under an EC description, e.g. making one that says “Boy Scouts” and then writing “Eagle Scout” in the description).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You may include them in the EC description if you wish.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again, this can be put under the EC description.</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick reply! It says academic awards and honors, so I wasnt sure if the academic part went with the honors. Its all really confusing haha</p>
<p>Well, academic awards and honors would include stuff like National Merit Semifinalist, Cum Laude Society, and any such stuff. Things like the Eagle Scout designation would probably be more appropriate for the EC description box.</p>
