Which do you recommend? Daughter will have a full list of activities but could squeeze these in there, if necessary. But I do see people mentioning they put these in the awards section sometimes. My daughter doesn’t have that many awards so could she put those there?
NAHS = National Arts Honors Society, in case readers aren’t familiar
If they are meaningful to her, that’s enough. Do things you want, not to force.
If you have 2-3 already, more isn’t going to help.
edit - if you’re asking where these go (you already have), assuming they do things - activities.
You don’t need awards. It’s not a required category. It’s what you do that matters. So if there’s no awards, it’s not going to hurt.
Just my opinion- my daughter put NHS in activities because she has had 2 leadership positions and led activities she can describe. She has other honor societies that I don’t think are making it on anywhere because she has 5 better awards and they are not super impressive to get into at her school and she doesn’t hold positions in them.
However, we did consider grouping all the honor societies (dance, French, math,NHs) in one entry for either awards or an activity. I think she is going to stick with using just NHS in the activities section and leaving the others out but I think you can handle it multiple ways.
Ultimately if they are in her top 5 awards and she didn’t have significant impact to describe in them I think awards is the place.
Thank you! She was thinking of grouping all school clubs together into one entry and then the NAHS/NHS together. Her activities outside of school are much more impressive so will be at the top. I have just read a few places people mentioning putting NHS into the award area instead so I was confused where the honors societies are supposed to go.
A lot do things to fill in spots but is it really necessary ?
What matters is what you do - you don’t get awards for serving ice cream at Baskin Robins or walking dogs at the shelter but those are great.
If you win an Olympic gold medal, it says something. Being in the NHS says little. The activity you might do as part of it says a lot more.
So many do force an award, but it’s likely useless in regards to impact.
