<p>I was wondering what exactly could be considered as ''academic distinctions or honors'' (besides school awards for good grades in a specific subject)</p>
<p>Math contest awards?
Quiz bowl awards?
Science fair prizes?
Distinctions that were awarded for both good grades and community service?</p>
<p>Other awards should be listed in the resume instead, am I right? :)</p>
<p>In my opinion, I think all 4 would qualify (on my app, I am putting those same types of awards, like math competition awards, under the honors section).</p>
<p>Honestly, you shouldn’t make a big deal about it; there was a discussion about NHS, and I think that colleges know that it is sometimes vague, so as long as it is on the sheet, then it’s okay. It’s not like they will reject you because you put an EC award under honors.</p>
<p>Oh thank you 
Anyone else agrees/has a different opinion?</p>
