My s. is using the common app. for most of his applications and there is a large and intimidating box for academic awards. How critical is it if he doesn’t really have any? He has made a huge upward swing since 9th grade and I so wish there were an award for that but, there isn’t. I mean what really classifies as an award?

Honor roll
Receiving certificate for completing over 200 comm. service hours
being recognized in local paper for fundraiser that he helped to create

Please help,…we are both stumped! If there is anything he can possibly list he really wants to be able to do that. Any one who can outline parameters, we would love to hear what you have to say.
