Hi guys,

I had a quick question regarding HS achievements:

I have an award that my high school gave me for having the highest overall science average.

Is it worth mentioning? Do med schools care about HS awards?

Thanks.

hahaha. I had a lot too, and I seriously doubt it.

no one will care. absolutely do not mention it. especially an award for doing well in science in high school...so what?

Sigh, I miss the dime a dozen awards of high school. It was so much easier to talk up your resume when you could win six awards for a single volunteering activity.

If I saw that on an app I'd probably laugh and show other people in the office and then send out a very polite rejection (if your other scores weren't in the ranges).
