Summer Program/Academic Honors - Lots of Questions!

<ul>
<li><p>Where do I put prestigious program I've participated in on the common app? (Under Honors or EC's)</p></li>
<li><p>If I earned an award related to a club (For ex, Cardboard Boat Regatta is a competition related to Engineering Club), do I put the award I earned under "Activities" or "Academic - Honors" or both?</p></li>
<li><p>If I earned an award for a state-wide summer camp I went to, (for example, a very casually given award for "Best Pattern Design" for a programmed light show from UT Austin's First Bytes computer science summer camp), should I put it in Common App at all? And should I put it in "Academics - Honors" or "Activities"?</p></li>
<li><p>My school doesn't give out academic awards at all except they recognize the A, AB, and B honor roll students and seniors right before graduation. I am an A honor student but it really isn't that big a deal it's just a school honor. I've heard that if your school doesn't give out academic awards, you should say "***High School doesn't give out awards" in one of the blanks. Should I do that?</p></li>
<li><p>Does the honors have to be related to academics? </p></li>
<li><p>Can I list honors I've received before high school? </p></li>
</ul>

<p>Sorry for bombarding everyone with so many questions and thanks for taking the time to look at them! :D</p>

<p>I would put any honors/awards related to school activities in that section even if it is not solely academic. For instance, Solo & Ensemble music festival. Only high school years are counted though and you only have 5 slots in that section.</p>
