This section is looking a little blank for me.

Can I put the clerkships that I honored?

What kind of thing that I count as an "achievement"?

I didn't get deans list or any other things like that.

clerkship/course honors count. There's no hard and fast rule on what you can put there, but it's a double edged sword. If you start putting lame stuff on there, then your credibility goes down.

I'd say any scholarships, honors, academic awards, or anything interesting. (if you're an oscar winner, i'd say it'd interest the interviewer to see that on there. Likewise, if you're a champion in anything, put it on there to pique the interest of the interviewer).

good luck
