Application Question about the Education Section

UnicornFarts

Hi guys, I am filling out the applications for schools, and under the Education Section, there is a question that says: "List the academic honors and awards, or other recognitions you have received." Isn't this just a repeat of what you would have on a resume?

Also, does latin honors count in this section?

They ask for a description as well and it's limited to very few words. I was wondering how people gave those descriptions. Thanks so much!

Yes it is a repeat of the resume and I did not include any of the Latin honors ie cum laude nor did I include phi theta kappa or whatever that pay to get into it society is called. I’m sure some people do though. I would include things such as ..habit for humanity award...for leadership in community service...10/2018

Yeah it's a repeat. That's just kind of how the apps are. They also ask for your work history, which obviously is on your resume. I did include Latin honors on mine... mostly because I don't have that many honors/awards haha.... pretty much just Latin honors and Dean's List, so I'd rather put those instead of leaving it blank lol.

Usually, everything after high school count. Check instructions though.
