[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Stop whining. This won't matter much for college admissions. If the ECs are so light that a "commended" PSAT recognition needs to be included in the application, that doesn't bode well for the applicant. Hope the SATs are good - even less stakes under test optional. [/quote] You are very confused. ECs and any National Merit recognition are reported on two different places on the Common App. You can have a boatload of great ECs and still have room to report National merit under "national awards."[/quote] False[/quote] True. At least it was true 3 years ago. Awards and activities are different sections of the app.[/quote] Still true today. My DC had a lot of great ECs but not a lot of awards since school doesn’t give them and activities are not the type to lead to awards either. DC put down commended. Got into top school. [/quote]
