What is a MAJOR award?

<p>I was told that I should update colleges with only MAJOR awards.</p>

<p>I was advanced to Coca Cola Scholars Finalist/ Elks MVS Competition National finalist.
Are these the major awards?</p>

<p>Both of those are major awards.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, how much do you think winning both of these awards can help someone’s chances at getting into a college? (Ivy Leagues specifically)</p>

<p>Winning the awards will not be a big boost, but the qualifications that would make a competitive application for the awards would also make a solid application for any school. The Coca-Cola scholarship probably gets more applications than most colleges.</p>

<p>Are AXA Achievement and AXA Community Achievement Finalists big enough to be an update?</p>

<p>I also won Coca Cola Scholars Finalist/ Elks MVS Scholarship National Finalist</p>

<p>Are these type of awards that admission officers think highly of?</p>
