What defines awards?

<p>On the Common App, there is a section labeled Honors under the Academic section of the application. Would Model UN awards (Honorable, Outstanding, etc) count in that section? If so, then how it would it be recognized? Nationally?
Help is greatly appreciated.
Also, I accidentally signed up for the Arts supplement and want to get rid of it. How can I do that?
Thanks :)</p>

<p>I don’t know if your Model UN is like my Model UN, but last time I participated almost everyone earned two or three “character awards”. If this was the case with you, I wouldn’t list them, as they’re pretty insignificant.</p>

<p>If, on the other hand, relatively few (say, less than one in ten) people earned an award, you might want to consider listing it. Space on the form is limited though, so don’t list it if you can think of something more significant to list.</p>

<p>Thanks igul222! The awards that I’ve won have all been at national/international conferences, so I think I’ll put them down. Plus, it can also be mentioned in the “Additional Info” section right?</p>
