Honors?

<p>Being a National Merit Scholar and in the Cum Laude Society are given as examples of honors in the Common App... What are other examples, because I'm sure that there are other things out there considered as honors.... Would they include school awards, or being a Silver Knight nominee from my school (a regional, inter-school scholarship competition), or attending the National Finals of a competition ("We the People: the Citizen and the Constitution")...?</p>

<p>Ideas of others are welcome. I just need a good understanding...</p>

<p>Thanks all!</p>
