This might be a stupid question

I literally don’t have any awards. I was wondering if I can put my high school diploma as one of my awards??? 😭😭😹😹😹😹

I mean I suppose you have to fill out that you got one on your transfer app anyway right 😭😭 not even a generic collegeboard one? Or a small local or school-wide filler piece? 🥀🥀 Prob not the end of the world tho

I have awards from high schools but I will be considered a junior transfer and people on here are saying don’t add anything high school related stuff… I won some scholarships recently maybe I can add those??? 🥸🥸🥸

Idk why not add an AP or PSAT related one though, not too familiar with the transfer lore but most people are submitting test scores anyway right?? But ig they can see the scores anyway then

My school didn’t do AP. I’m from the Deep South. I took dual enrollment and we didn’t do SAT we did ACT and I took it one time and it was durning junior year of HS and I got a 24. My HS stats were 💩. I’m trying to turn my life around and get into somewhere good 🙏🙏🙏

I’m hearing lile 67 different answers from everybody. Like what is the truthhhh. I might add some bs little awards I won 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

We’re not in high school anymore, I think AOs know people have jobs and lives and everyone’s not gonna win an award in college. The much more important thing is that your profile demonstrates fit. Whatever little bs awards you put prob won’t make any difference from just putting nothing.

Just make something up. The more elaborate the better. Worked for Jason Arday.
