What to put as my honors and distinctions?

Applying to College

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I have a list of honors which I might or might not put on common app.</p>

<p>Can you please recommend which one to put?</p>

<ul>
<li>Honor roll (10,11,12, School)</li>
<li>Math award given to the person who got the highest mark (10,11,12, School)</li>
<li>British Physics olympiad Gold medal (11,12, not sure national or international)</li>
<li>robotics competition winner (11 , international)</li>
<li>Science fair winner (10,11, regional)</li>
<li>AP scholars with distinction (11, not sure..)</li>
<li>Middle east math competition winner (11, international)</li>
</ul>

<p>I'm quite confused with those international or national or regional blahblah</p>

<p>For example, Middle east math competition is a competition between all middle east students not the entire world. Does it still count as international?</p>

<p>International means more than one country – yes it counts. List your honors in order of importance, the most important first.</p>

3

<p>put 3rd 4th 5th and 7th. Not sure about the remaining because I don’t know how prestigious they are. Don’t put anything insignificant.</p>

<p>I would put your Middle East Math Competition, British Physics Olympiad Award, and Robotics Competition for sure. I would then put down your Science Fair fourth, and then probably your school Math Award last. </p>

<p>AP Scholar is a relatively prestigious award but if you’re submitting your AP scores, then they will be able to tell that you’re an AP Scholar anyways, so it would be pretty redundant to put it down. Same with honor roll because they’ll be able to tell based on your grades (plus almost every student will have honor roll so it’s not very significant).</p>
