Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>I got a 120+ on this year's ultra hard AMC12, should I include this in my honor's secion of my common app? (I was second place in my region)</p>

2

<p>Definitely! Include both the score and your place.</p>

3

<p>But you can only list 5 honors and I have exactly 5 inter-school awards, should I just list school awards AP awards? Or should I replace one of the school award with my AMC/AIME score?</p>

<p>AIME > school awards…if you have more than 5 important things, there’s always the extra information section, or you can include a resume. And schools like MIT and Caltech have a special spot to report it right on the application.</p>

<p>Ok, what if I have to choose to put down between an AIME score of 8 and the National Commended Scholar for PSAT? Which one should I choose?</p>

6

<p>AIME>PSAT. Especially just commended, that really won’t do much at all for your application. An 8 AIME will. Consider including your rank in the state, it’s probably really good. You can get this off AMC website.</p>

<p>What if I get a 5 on the AIME? Can I combine a 5 on AIME and a 108 on AMC12 in to one line in the honors section?</p>
