<p>Is it frowned upon to say I am (xx out of xx recipients of this honor) after the honor? </p>
<p>Also, how do you phrase the honor? For example if I want to list National AP Scholar do I just put "National AP Scholar" or is there some specific format like "Recipient of National AP Scholar; at least 8 AP Exams with a score above 4"</p>
<p>Just say National AP Scholar. If it is a well known award, just put the name. If it’s not that well known, then explain it in the additional info part in the common app.</p>
<p>It is fine to indicate how selective the honor is (examples: chosen as one of 11 out of 143 applicants, one of just two at my school, one of just a handful of sophomores, the first freshman ever).</p>
