I was wondering where you would list scholarships or awards on your AMCAS. I understand that stating Deans List might be redundant because they have access to your transcript. But I am curious as to where you would list scholarship awards that you have received on your transcript

Thanks.

The activities section has a pull-down menu to choose from. Try to list all your honors, awards, and scholarships in a single spot. Don't specify the amount of a scholarship if it is small. If something was truly spectacular, like a Nobel Prize, then you can list it in its own space.

so say if i got 2 academic scholarships from my school, 1 scholarship from community service... basically my question is...since I ONLY have 15 slots for extracurriculars, would you recommend me to list 3 AWARDS (each with different contacts and information) under 1 ACTIVITY...i mean im just worried about using 3 slots for 3 awards.

Wait, so you didn't get a Nobel Prize? Lame.

Since 2 scholarships are academic, put them under 1 slot.
Use another for the comm service scholarship.

IMO, yes.
 
idonno. i still think listing the two academic ones under one is cool. but the comm service one just doesnt belong imo. maybe it will be better fit with the activity where OP actually talks about that comm service?
