[quote=Anonymous]Awards are not that important. They only matter for t15/ivies and even then it is only noteworthy if the kid has state or regional academic honors (or national but that is rare and they do not mean common ones such as AP Scholar). Alternatively from competitive privates or magnets that send less than 10% to T20 , being named by faculty as one of 3-4 kids who are best in school (academic and citizenship) is helpful to stand out from the 20-30 who are gunning for T20 and likely all have top rigor and top grades. More important than awards is have they made an impact with their ECs. The transcript is more important than all of it, though, so focus there. Junior yr all A grades in the most rigorous courses is the most impressive and outweighs awards, EC. [/quote]
