<p>I'm new to this whole idea of thinking about college. I just finished freshman year, and will be a sophomore this upcoming school year. </p>
<p>Once I started reading some of the posts in this forum, I was dumbfounded.Their is so much that I don't know about. When I was reading some chance threads, a lot of people mentioned Awards, and so on. But they were all abbreviated. ( at least that's what it seemed to me) </p>
<p>My question is what are some awards and honors that a high school kid can get? (One that is aiming high... like maybe an ivy league college) How does one get them? What do they signify? </p>
<p>I'm so confused....</p>
