On the Common App, it asks to “Briefly list any academic distinctions or honors you have received since the 9th grade or international equivalent (e.g., National Merit, Cum Laude Society).”

I’m guessing AP Scholar would be one? What about awards given by the school to those who have a 3.7+ … should I even bother putting them on? I’m just a little confused on what they asking for - probably because I haven’t been awarded in such a fashion. Some examples would be appreciated.

Also, I believe that my perfect attendance award says a lot about my commitment to school. Where is the appropriate place to list this, if any?
