<p>I have read in several places that the Honors Section of the Common Application should only be academic honors. His counselor has said its ok to list athletic honors as well. The problem is he can't fit everything under the character limit for his activity. His team won district, regionals and placed high in states for multiple years so he lists that as well since he was one of the runners that achieved that success. As a result, he cant' fit varsity letters in the activities section under cross country. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>@vahockey, students can use the honors section for whichever honors they choose. As for the varsity letter question specifically, if your son lists his activity as varsity level, we’ll assume a letter is included so no need to make extra mention of it.</p>
<p>Perfect. I will just have him remove it altogether. Thank you!</p>
