if it took several awards to win a final, big award, (like winning states, then regionals, then winning nationals) should I list all the different awards earned on the path to the biggest award?
Thanks
It depends. If you have many awards across the board, I would recommend only putting the final big award. This is because they assume you have won on the smaller levels. The reason I say this is because filling your app with junk might make admissions gloss over some of your more impressive achievements. If you have a page with 50 achievements, the 5-10 good ones might get overlooked in the massive pool.
If you don’t have too many achievements, there is nothing wrong with putting in the smaller awards (you don’t want to appear too bare bones).
