<p>On the UC app there is a section along the lines of "Awards/Honors." I was wondering what you transfer students--that were accepted into a UC-- put down for your awards. Were they mainly highschool awards, or from community college? I'm just trying to get an idea of what's out there.</p>
<p>Please post your awards and what UCs you were accepted into.</p>

<p>im interested in this also . .</p>
<p>x. Won a national high school chess championship
x. National Merit Semifinalist
x. Other chess-related stuff- Northern California grade level champion, etc.</p>
<p>i left that part blank and i got into Berkeley, LA, and SD.</p>
<p>It’s not very important, actually.</p>
<p>i wrote awards from highschool and cc such as deans honors list, etc.</p>
<p>Academic Decathlon Team Captain and some other stuff.</p>
<p>I used scholarships, presidents list, and honors society membership.</p>
<p>Left mine blank and got into UCLA and Cal. </p>
<p>Basically, if you’re questioning whether something counts as a worthy award, it probably doesn’t. </p>
<p>For me, any awards based solely on GPA seemed pointless to post because admissions can see your GPA anyway, and I probably wouldn’t have put a lot of the things people are posting here in that category. There’s a separate section for leadership roles and club involvement . . .</p>
