Pending Awards on College Apps

<p>So I'm set to receive the Gold U.S. Congressional Medal June of my senior year. If I meet the requirements for the gold medal by time of college application (will be receiving the medal FOR SURE.) how do I designate such on a college app? The medal is only given out during June of each year. </p>

<p>Do I designate it as "Received Gold Congressional Medal" or how would I write it? </p>

<p>Just list “Gold Congressional Medal 2014” in the section for awards next to Nobel Prizes and Oscars. ;)</p>

<p>by US Congressional Medal did you mean the US Congressional Award? </p>

<p>The US Congressional Medal is almost always given to an adult and has not been awarded every year. Famous recipients include George Washington…</p>

<p>The US Congressional Award is a program which a student signs up for themself and sets goals him/her-self. I don’t think colleges will care if you earn it. It’s something to include, but it isn’t hard to earn. It’s just that most people don’t know it exists.</p>
