Listing Awards and Elaborating EC

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Where (and how) would I list the following achievements?</p>

<p>2006:
National Science Olympiad: Meteorology - 2nd place
National Science Olympiad: Road Scholar - 4th place
2007:
National Science Olympiad: Ecology - 3rd place
2008:
National Science Olympiad: Oceanography - 3rd place
(And much more state level awards... consecutive 1st place performances at state)</p>

<p>They are individual awards, yet I would clutter up the awards section if I listed them individually...</p>

<p>Also, besides writing about Science Olympiad in the 150 word EC section, where else should I emphasize my involvement? I've been involved in it since 8th grade and it is by far my main EC.</p>

<p>Last question: Are there any opportunities for my Science Olympiad coach to write for my application? I have been working with her since 8th grade, and in many ways, she knows me best.</p>

<p>Thank you!! :)</p>

<p>Have the coach write an extra letter of reference for you. This is fine.</p>

<p>Use four lines for the four national awards or if you want to use one line say Four national science olympiad awards and describe them elsewhere or if you want to use three lines say
2008 National Science Olympiad Award (Oceanography - 3rd place)
2007 National Science Olympiad Award (Ecology - 3rd place)
2006 National Science Olympiad Awards (Meteorology, 2nd; Road Scholar, 4th)</p>
