I am about to submit my application and wanted to know how people go about listing awards, recognition, and honor societies. I have mutliple honor societies, dean's list merck science award, service award, etc.
1) I don't really know who to list for a contact for any the awards since they were given by my school and don't have a specific person associated with them.
2) Could i combien them all and list myself as the contact so that the application doesn't give me an error message.

1) Use your college's Registrar as the contact (name should be available on-line or via a phone call), as that office will have a record of most of those things.

2) Many would put all the entries in a single space, unless one of them particularly stands out and you have a lot to say about it.

thank you for your response. Much appreciated. Would you chose for the category awards or other and then write awards for the experience since i received the awards different years and time and the awards section asks specifically for the date? thanks.

Just list them all in the description. For the date, I used the range that encompassed all of the awards. I broke my awards down by date in the description but I don't think that's necessary if you don't want to do it.

Alternatively, you could choose Awards, title the activity something like "Collegiate Recognitions," and give the date by which you had accumulated everything listed in the space.

Or, if one Award was particularly impressive, you could give the date for that, list it first and describe, then afterward, say, "Other Collegiate Awards and Honors: . . . ." And list the others.
