Would this be appropriate to list?

[TheOneNamedS]

<p>Under the academics section of the common app is a place to lists honors. It says, "Briefly list any academic distinctions or honors you have received since the ninth grade or international equivalent (e.g. National Merit, Cum Laude Society)."</p>

<p>Would a full scholarship to my high school be an appropriate distinction to list?</p>

<p>I guess it would since that’s an “academic distinction or honor,” but you might want to consider if that’s worthwhile mentioning. Is it a good school? Or just a average-private school? If it’s not really significant, then I wouldn’t put it on there, because then it just looks like you’re grasping for straws.</p>
