<p>This is question #11 on the Rice Part II application - “Beginning with ninth grade, briefly describe any scholastic distinctions or honors you have won.” Then it provides a bunch of lines as a short answer question would.</p>
<p>Am I supposed to answer in paragraph form, or is a simple list acceptable?</p>
<p>A list is acceptable; you might add a very short description if the title of any particular distinction/honor doesn’t make it obvious what it was about or what was involved. For example, “National Honor Society” doesn’t need further explanation, but a local honor like “Anytown USA Scholastic Finalist” might deserve a brief description.</p>
