is the UC’s Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) program
considered an academic honor for the common app “academic honors” section
ELC eligibility would be noted on the UC application automatically once the application is submitted so I would not put it in the “honors/award” section. Yes, the student should be proud of this achievement and it is a consideration for the UC application review, but it would be redundant if listed again.
I noticed this is posted under the Common application forum and ELC is not something recognized by other schools so I would not list it on the Common/Coalition app.
