<p>On the Harvard supplement, it asks us to "list any non-academic distinctions or honors not already mentioned." It turns out that I already did this in the Supplemental information of my Common app, where I attached an extra file. </p>
<p>How should I fill out this box? Can I leave it blank, or will that look bad? Or should I write a note telling the adcoms to refer to the Common app supplemental information section?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I had a lot of my awards, distinctions, and honors listed on the Common Application already except one so I listed that extra one that didn't fit on their supplement. However, if I didn't have that one, I would simply leave it blank. It won't "look bad," as it states that this field is only for those NOT already mentioned. Thus, it would look silly to re-list them because it'd be redudant and a waste of time for both you and the Committee.</p>
<p>repeating information is a bad call, and, because that option isn't offered on other supplements, I would suggest leaving it blank.</p>
<p>i was going to put "time magazine's person of the year" in that section. (seriously.)</p>
