Does making Dean's list qualify as an award/honor in the experiences section?

I put it as an award. Some people may not agree. But it was a big deal at my school to make the Dean's List or President's List. (Or maybe just a big deal to me!!)

I put it as an award. Since I did not get it every semester I put each semester I got it as a new award.

Did you describe it? Also, what about academic awards from high school? I graduated in the top ten of my class and got some other awards, but I dont know if thats going back too far.

Yes I just put that I got on the Dean's List for having greater than a 3.5 GPA the previous semester.

Instructions from VMCAS: "List and describe honors or awards you have received, including those during high school, beginning with the most important."

Good Luck to you!!

I put it too. A 3.5 is nothing to sneeze at. At least, not in any respected institution (I.E. where they aren't just giving grades away).

That is true. I go to NAU. So it is one of the three main universities in AZ but it is the least known. I believe it is a respected university, just smaller than most.
