University of Chicago Application Question

desire2learndesire2learn Member
edited October 2016 in General 1171 karma
In the University of Chicago application there is a section where it asks you to input the following and gives the following fields:

List the academic honors and awards, or other recognitions you have received.

Name of Award/Honor - - - - Date/Term Received - - - - - Description - - - - - - School
____________________ - - - - _________________ - - - - - _________ - - - - - - __________


I have some awards that are from athletics. Do I include them here? I feel like it depends on how you read the instruction sentence.
If so, some are from organizations not schools. Do I put the organization in that field or the school I was attending?
All of my awards are currently listed on my résumé. Do I list them here also? Do I remove the awards from my résumé?
Should I just email the admissions office at UChicago and ask?

Even simple things get complicated when it comes to law school.

    Yes! Do all of that bro. I know it seems redundant but you should put all your accomplishments there.

    Under the school section put the school you were attending if you can.

    Yeah it does seem redundant but hey, they ask, you give lol. I would still call the school to ask!
    And yeah, every small thing matters when we submit our apps so you're definitely not being obsessive or anything.
