Members don't see this ad.

What do you write in the experience box? How I felt after I won this award?
I won some award because I applied (paid $60 membership fee), but I never went to any of their meetings. Should I add it to my application?

thanks

You put the criteria required to "win" the award.

thanks a lot. Does this mean that each award that I won should be included as separate experiences??? Someone wrote a while back that it was better to just pool the awards together. This doesn't make sense to me because that would complicate the form such as organization____, title___, contact___, etc... What should I do then? Thanks.

Was this the Golden Key Honour Soiciety? I'm a member, but I still think it's some sort of a scam

I won two awards from the same organization and pooled them together. If they are from different organizations, I would for sure separate them. Why would you clump them all together? Whoever said that is misleading you. Why would you want to NOT bring attention to your accomplishments? These accomplishments are what are going to get you into med school!

It sounds to me like you won -$60
