Question about listing awards. I have a few senior awards from my hs, awarded in the week in which we graduated. I know that typically listing hs awards is a big no-no. However, this is a well-known hs, and it is located in an area where many of the med schools to which I am applying are also located. I would only use up one slot to list these awards if I ended up including them. What do you think?

most people will say no, hs is hs. don't list it
 
I say no, everyone has those. You should fill it with more current information or they will assume the worst.
