<p>Noitaraperp, when i said that i was referring to the fact that only the common app, they divide ECs based on:school then State/region, then national, then international. In that context you would want to highlight your awards in this order:international,national,region/state, then school, bc the common app only allows you to put a certain amount of awards, and a school award would look less impressive than a state or national award.</p>
