Are these worth mentioning when you are completing the honors and scholarships section on pharmcas?

yeah, nah?

if so, list all of them.. since it happens every semester or just once or what?


IE

Fall 2005 - Honors, Spring 2006 - Honors, Summer - Deans, Fall - Deans. . .etc.?

Pharmcas seems so vague about some things. Maybe I just missed the answer in the FAQ's. What did you do?

I'm gonna sound snobby here, but I need to pick on someone :meanie:😛. I was in the Honors College, so I was an honors student the whole time.

Thats sorta what I'm getting at. I was in all the honor society dohickies and programs. No Honors college though lol. I hear they charge more for that! 😱

So I wonder if the normal type stuff for any good student are even worth listing.
 
Just list all of them on your PharmCAS application. It doesn't hurt or cost you anything, right? I did mention Dean's list, Presidential Scholar on my application multiple times...LOL.

They didn't charge more for it. One of the advantages of the Honors College was that the dorms were nicer, but I only lived in the Honors Dorm for my first year. I continued taking Honors classes until I graduated.

Here's what you can do. List the honors stuff that you were in, but only list them once.
Maybe something like this:
Dean's List: 2005, 2006, 2007
Honor's List: 2006, 2007

You may have to get creative.
 
I didn't bother to list them - I figure that they can tell from my GPA and transcripts that I must have been on the Dean's List.
 
What if you graduated with a BS degree and graduated with honors, high honors, or even highest honors?

Is it worth it to put that on the application if room is limited?
 
you mean like "Graduated Magna Cum Laude" etc. Right?

I would.

I did put that. It all depends what else you have to add - if you have 10 things that are more impressive than that, leave it off. If you have room, put it on there.
