Where to list achievements/awards/summer programs?

Hi!

I’m wondering where on the application to list awards, for example awards for short-stories or making IPhO (hahaha neither are me, I wish).
Also, where to write programs, for example math or science camps?

Should we write these as activities? Would having only one summer camp fill one spot be overemphasizing it? Also it feels a bit like a waste of a space.

I want to lump contests into one, but how many hours per week? 2h/week, 6 weeks per year? That is umm funny sounding isn’t it? Haha if it works though I will do it.

Oh, and do we have to send our transcripts ourselves if our counselor is doing it? My counselor said she is scanning my transcript and sending it, but I read somewhere recently (on here? on blogs? idk) something like, “remember to mail your transcripts by Nov. 1st! No online submissions, must be mailed or faxed”. So do we have to like, go to the post office and mail our transcripts? Or send online somehow? Or is it all good if our school does it?

Thank you!!

Also anyone wanna freak out with me a bit? (the following is not important, just a little stress relief for myself) I haven’t finished essays yet and I’m applying ea holy crap like I wrote drafts for all but I hate most and they are just not clicking, like when I read them they don’t feel personalized to me and it’s so frustrating. 250 word limits :frowning: I’m not a concise person at all haha.

There is a honor/award section on the part 2 of the app. You can list your academic/non academic awards there. As for the summer camps, there is place to list your summer activities. Why don’t you list them there and explain them elaborately in the additional info section?

I’m freaking out over the essays too. Haha. Applying EA but I have yet to review them
