Academic Honors Question

<p>I’ve listed the following already: AP Scholar (10th grade), National AP Scholar (11th grade), National Merit Commended Student, National Honor Society member.
Looking around on some posts on here, someone said that being nominated for or invited to a program like the National Leadership Conference counts as an academic honor. Is this true? </p>

<p>Also, does anyone have other ideas for honors to list (My high school doesn’t keep an honor role or anything like that)?</p>

<p>Anybody want to answer this?</p>

<p>I don’t know if I would put that as an Honor. My son went to one and he put it under activities.</p>

<p>any awards like science fair or other subject, AP Scholar or did you do well on PSAT and were commended or a semifinalist?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t consider that an honor. Isn’t the National Leadership Conference one of those programs that charges you ~$2000 to go to D.C., and invites people based on their zip-code (affluence, school quality)? Unless the program invitation was based on the PSAT score, or something like that, I wouldn’t bother mentioning it. As a rule of thumb, the programs that are free are more prestigious than the ones that charge you. Hope this helps.</p>
