So, I am going to be getting a gold medal congressional award soon and was wondering how much it would help with college apps next year. This list (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/302001-list-of-top-prestigious-awards-p73.html), though I know isn’t entirely accurate, but still makes sense as a general reference, puts it as a 7 which also includes USACO platinum and ISEF finalist. etc. Is it that important/useful in college apps? If not, where would you put it instead?
