<p>This is just out of curiosity, but how do you state team awards on the Common App? (Like awards that you helped win, but it wasn't just you alone?) For example, if your school newspaper won various national and state awards and you are a section editor? Or if your athletic team won state overall, and you are on varsity?</p>
<p>You can state your position, identify the award received and the group: ‘Quarterback for 5A Varsity State 1st place football team’. Or you can embellish a bit, to the extent you have room: “As starting QB, helped lead my 5A varsity football team to 1st place in Texas.”</p>
