<p>I got the letter of commendation yesterday and I was wondering what good, if any, commendation does. Do I get a higher chance of getting scholarships (not only from colleges but also from private institutions) for being commended?
Oh, and also, when you fill out the awards/recognition part of common app, in which box should I put a check mark, 11 or 12? </p>
<p>one more question...
What are the advantages/disadvantages of early action?</p>
