International student dilemma: What counts as academic honours?

<p>Hey CCers,</p>

<p>I'm a student from New Zealand, and I am having a bit of trouble filling out the Common App Academic Honours section. Our school has different ways of congratulating academic excellence, so I'm not sure what to put the prizes under. At the end of each year is a Senior Prize-giving, and, depending on the subject and grade, up to 10 awards for each subject are given out. </p>

<p>For example,
In 2007, I received 5 Excellence Awards for Mathematics, English, Physics, Biology and Chemistry and a General Excellence Award. So should I just put "Excellence Awards for etc etc etc"? </p>

<p>Also, how should I show awards that I've won from the NZ National Science Fair? Should I put "National Science Fair: 3 awards" or should I individually mention the awards? </p>

<p>And if i participated in an international science competition as a guest to show my research, should I just put "Beiijng International Youth Science Creation Competition"?</p>

<p>Lots of questions, obviously I am in quite a conundrum here. It's hard to get answers when noone even knows what the Common App is.</p>

<p>I'd truly appreciate any advice or suggestions,</p>

<p>Victor</p>
