Which honors/awards should I list?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>When making my list of honors/awards, I found that I had more than there were spots in the Common App. I know that I can put more in the Additional Information section, but I think I should prioritize them and put the top 5 in the designated spot.
So, which of these would be best to list?
I'm wondering if there wouldn't be enough name recognition of the Senate Scholars Program to make it worth listing.</p>

<p>3rd Place in (my state) Junior Science and Humanities Symposium
National Merit Semifinalist
National Honor Society Member
National Forensic League-Degree of Honor
Selected for (my state) Girls State
Selected for State Senate Scholars Program
AP Scholar Award
Academic Achievement Award (given by school for good grades)</p>

<p>I kind of doubt that the last two would be worthwhile.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>IMO you should list the following:</p>

<p>3rd Place in (my state) Junior Science and Humanities Symposium
National Merit Semifinalist
National Forensic League-Degree of Honor
Selected for (my state) Girls State
Selected for State Senate Scholars Program
AP Scholar Award [if you’re already reporting your AP scores elsewhere, this one won’t be necessary]</p>

<p>Ok, thank you!</p>

<p>So basically, not NHS. Should I still list that in my extracurriculars?</p>

<p>AP Scholar will be listed when you report AP scores, so no need to take up space with that one. I would also include NHS somewhere.</p>
