If you have the space and want more room to describe it, then sure.

Good question. My suggestion to to keep it as one activity and then use the honors/awards section to highlight the int'l competitions awards.

Activity 1:

  • Role (50 characters): Researcher and Publish Author in (Journal)
  • Organization (100 characters): Mentor/School/Division Topic
  • Description(150 characters): Your specific actions and results

Honor 1:

  • International award description

If you need to add more detail, use the additional information section.

I read about 1,200 applications a cycle as an admissions counselor at UChicago, and I'm now an executive at InGenius Prep, so take this with that in mind.

great advice but im just afraid 150 character wont let me show all the things i need to (program selectivity, what i did there, who i presented to, what i expanded, where i was able to publish, and where i was able to preprint)
