<p>If say, your school newspaper is nationally recognized, or your academic team went to nationals, is that worth putting on your app, even though it wasn't your INDIVIDUAL achievement (but you helped it along)?</p>
<p>hey, I would really like to know this... anyone? =/</p>
<p>If you worked on the newspaper or were a member of the academic team, then you should put it because it is partly your achievement. But if it is just that people from your school did those things, then you shouldn't put it because it is not yours to put.</p>
<p>You could say "Sports Editor for nationally-recognized student newspaper" but not "nationally-recognized Sports Editor" (unless you really are.)</p>
<p>If you were a member of a championship sports team, you would mention it, wouldn't you? Same thing.</p>
<p>If you're not sure, then you probably shouldn't.</p>
<p>if you are a staff writer, certainly mention that contributed. do mention any outstanding awards your school paper won as well, because you (indirectly) helped</p>
<p>oh, yes, that's what i meant-- I am an editor in chief of a school publication etc... and the publication is nationally recognized.... so i guess i'll put it on. thanks~!</p>
