Honors Section Advice

<p>Which awards do you think that I should put on for the 5?</p>

<p>Awards:
National Spanish Exam-Plata de Oro
AP Scholar with Distinction
Illinois State Scholar
National Merit Commended (I got a 2330 on SAT, but 210 on PSAT, should I just leave off and let the admissions counselors assume?)
Young Scholar (School)
Business Student of the Quarter (School)
National Honor Society
National Spanish Honor Society
Dean's List</p>

<p>Thanks for giving me your input.</p>

<p>I could also possibly put NHS as an activity because I might have a leadership position.</p>

<p>I will also put these on my resume under additional information.</p>

<p>Only put information in the “additional information” section if it is additional. Anything you enter in the honors/ awards section, should not also be included in the additional section. </p>

<p>I’d suggest entering NHS and NSHS in a single entry, skip AP scholar (it’s self evident from your presumably self-reported scores), skip Dean’s list (your transcript will show your good grades), and skip NM Commended (not likely to be additive to your app because of high SATs). That leaves you with 5 entries. If you feel they are truly important, the ones you skip could be included in the additional info section.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the input. I was thinking along those lines as well.</p>

<p>Any more opinions?</p>

<p>I just found out that notification for Illinois State Scholar does not come out until Nov/Dec.</p>

<p>Have you gotten confirmation that you are an AP Scholar with Distinction yet? If you haven’t, then you probably shouldn’t put that (at least until you get confirmation).</p>

<p>Well I met all the requirements, and the notification comes in October. Anyways, I am probably going to leave that off since colleges can figure that out based off of my self reported scores. State Scholar is the only thing that won’t be published before the EA/ED deadline.</p>

<p>If you do put the NSE one, be sure to change it to “Premio de oro” though as that is the official title of the award:[url=&lt;a href=“http://www.nationalspanishexam.org/index.php/results/printable-certificates]Printable”&gt;http://www.nationalspanishexam.org/index.php/results/printable-certificates]Printable</a> Certificates<a href=“%22plata%20de%20oro%22%20would%20be” title=“silver of gold”>/url</a>.</p>

<p>Thanks so much, I can’t believe I missed that.</p>

<p>OP, thank you so much! I had some honors that I completely forgot about…</p>

<p>Business student of the month
Illinois state scholar (when it comes out ._.)
(My HS name) scholar
Ap scholar
Nhs</p>

<p>Would it be safe to put Illinois state scholar or no?</p>

<p>I would leave off state scholar until regular decision applications.</p>
