<p>If you have attended any other Secondary Schools, summer schools, or programs since ninth grade, check this box:</p>
<p>Is that where I put it?
But then theres a box that says school name and location. Do i just put the name of the program in that box?</p>
<p>I did a program with CTY and was also confused about where to place it and would appreciate any help with that.</p>
<p>right now, mine is under the additional information under the writing tab</p>
<p>i uploaded my resume to it....</p>
<p>I think this "summer schools" spot is a good place to put things like Boys' State.</p>
<p>Is it? I put it under awards (boys state)</p>
<p>probably awards
(...being an alternate wouldn't go on, should it? thanks)</p>
<p>so... awards or summer schools/programs, that is the question</p>
<p>@cricketman1991: yes, put it on. Why not?</p>
<p>I had the same issue with a summer writing camp, but then I figured out that my options were 1) put it as an extracurricular, which would take up one of my 7 slots, 2) put it as an award, which would take up one of my 5 slots, or 3) put it under summer schools/programs, where it has its own slot.</p>
<p>I don't think it really matters where you put certain things, as long as it makes sense. I've had to do a little shuffling to get everything to fit, and it seems to have worked out so far.</p>
<p>there's only 5 spots for awards??!?!?!
crap.</p>
<p>I would say additional information.</p>
<p>The awards section is limited to "*academic *distinctions or honors". Appointment to Boys State recognizes leadership and the program is for leadership development. I do not think it should be cited as an academic award and have my doubts about listing it as a summer school (anyone more expert know for sure?) To my mind, it qualifies as "additional information".</p>
<p>If my interpretation is correct, the Common App simply does not have a space for awards pertaining to leadership, community service, athletics, arts, and extracurriculars. I think the expectation is that these go under "additional information" or on an arts or athletic supplement.</p>
<p>I was recently at a summer program at Boston College where I took classes, and I was wondering if I'd put it in the additional section or under the additional schools section?</p>
<p>additional schools probably</p>
<p>I did a summer program at Brown and when I tried to fill it in under the summer school part it would only let me look up secondary schools, not university programs.</p>
