<p>For example, I've worked in research labs for multiple years. Should I with that line write a description or just write my awards?</p>
<p>Right now, I have: "Selected for provincially competitive Heritage Youth Research Program. Associate Member of Sigma Xi Research Society." but would it be better if I described what I did? I feel like it might get redundant, with the other info being provided. If I did add what I did, I'd probably say: worked on multiple projects, did experiments + analyzed data independently and then consulted with my mentor. </p>
<p>(I'm sending in a LoR and an abstract which hopefully should make clear what I did/how I worked hard/wasn't a lab grunt. )</p>
<p>Same thing for Science Fair - it's even more self explanatory (lol), but should I include like how I had to write proposals and whatnot and then list my awards in the main honours section/additional info.</p>
<p>Finally- I've heard some people say they're adding other awards in additional info. Is it worth adding it if they're not as big but support your interest in an area? An example might be the Silver Test Tube Award from ACS or even regional awards I got at science fair.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
