<p>Would a school-wide essay competition be appropriate to include in the Honors section?</p>
<p>It says:
Briefly list any academic distinctions or honors you have received since the ninth grade or international equivalent (e.g. National Merit, Cum Laude Society).</p>
<p>THANKS!!!</p>

<p>If you are proud of it, list it
