Book Award

Colleges & Universities University of Maryland - College Park

<p>My daughter received a University of Maryland Book award at her high school awards ceremony the other night. I don’t even know what this means. Does anyone know whether it carries any weight if she’s applying next year? She visited last year and loved it.</p>

<p>The committee which selected the students who received these Book Awards was comprised of teachers at her current high school. The book was some random book (on sale - clearance - with the price tag still on!) We got a good laugh!</p>

<p>This award would certainly be one that your daughter would put on her “resume” (UMd has both an application and also requests you to attach a resume). Any high school or community awards are good to include here. I don’t know if the book award would hold any more weight than another award, but because it was selected by the faculty, it says good things about her. Good luck!</p>
