What Should Go In the Common App Honors Section?

You've just finished filling out your ten activities on the Common App and you think the hard part's done. But then...you see that there's an Honors section. What could you put in there that you haven't already used in Activities? Here are some suggestions.

Where is the Honor Section and What's Included?
Honors is located at the bottom of the Education section. There are room for five, and you'll need a title, grade level, and level of recognition (state, school, etc.).

Suggestions for Honors

There are obvious academic honors you could include:
Inducted into an honor society
Academic or outstanding achievement awards
National Merit Scholar
AP Scholar
Honor roll

But don't forget other subjects that are also considered academic:
Art awards
Writing awards
Athletics (if it's an award for character rather than points)

If you still can't think of anything, reach out to your guidance counselor! He or she may have something in your file that you've forgotten about. And it definitely wouldn't be the first time they've heard this question.
