UC app question regarding "Awards/Honors"

<p>Does being on your community college's "Dean's List" count as an Award/Honor?</p>

<p>I don't know... I've wondered the same thing about being a member of the International High IQ society... is that an honor?</p>

<p>Just put it if its an award. Whether or not the UC's hold that award in high regard would be up to them.</p>

<p>^ What if it's just a designation on your transcript?</p>

<p>I didn't have any others so I put it down for each open space it is technically an academic honor/award and you receive it every quarter at my school if your gpa > 3.5</p>

<p>Im going to be applying for junior transfer- since they allow to choose from 9th-12th grade in high school, should I list high school awards too?</p>

<p>^ I did. Mainly because all my awards/honors are from high school. >_<</p>

<p>[/fail]</p>

<p>yes, it does count as awards/honors.</p>

<p>what is considered a "prestigious" award? scholarships? speech competitions?</p>

<p>I put membership/invitations to honor societies (don't really think they would count as EC's) as well as Deans/Chancellors list commendations.</p>

<p>Yes it counts</p>

<p>Ok, so I guess I'll include me being included on the Dean's List.</p>

<p>Now, the question:</p>

<p>Do I include it for every semester I was on it? I've been on the Dean's list twice (Fall 07 and Spring 08). Should I post each one, or should I just do a general "I've been on the Dean's List twice"? Posting it twice seems a little excessive, but the "Date Received" part implies I should post it twice, once for each semester.</p>

<p>Put the semesters that you are on. For example Fall 07 & Spring 08). I read that as 2 semesters.</p>

<p>Do i have to include highschool's award/honors??
like honor roll, >4.0gpa, varsity letter?</p>

<p>^ Pretty sure you don't <em>have</em> to.</p>

<p>Thanks, get it</p>

<p>are you going to? I am somewhat torn. It will add a lot to my application, but how much of it will be disregarded?</p>

<p>Might as well just add as much as you can. Better to look cocky then incompetent.</p>

<p>If you are applying as a junior, you should not include high school honors.</p>

<p>Columbia_Student, why not?</p>

<p>I actually put awards from when I was in junior high (eek). Should I go ahead and take these off?</p>
