<p>Hello!</p>
<p>My school doesn't really give out any honors for high-achieving students.
There is only one award and that's given out in the spring to two seniors who played well in multiple sports.</p>
<p>I have won some local athletic awards and regional+state science competition awards which I will include in my resume.</p>
<p>Do any of these things count as an "honor" to put in the "honors" section?:
-National Honor Society member
-IB diploma candidate
-nomination to represent school at a banquet</p>
<p>If not, would it look really bad if I have nothing in the honors section?? My grades, GPA, and standardized test scores are really good - including my Common App essay. I just hate blank spots on applications. :(</p>
