Hey everyone! I've made it onto my school's honor roll multiple times, and I'm wondering if I should include this on my UC application. Would it be beneficial or is it not significant enough to mention?
Hello! Including your school's honor roll designation on your UC application can be helpful, as it demonstrates your consistent academic achievement. While it may not be as significant as some other accomplishments, it's still worth mentioning.
In the UC application, there's a specific section called "Awards & Honors" where you can list your achievements. You can include your honor roll placements there, briefly explaining the criteria for earning the honor (e.g. maintaining a certain GPA or being in the top x% of your class).
Remember that UC schools take a holistic approach to admissions, considering various aspects such as grades, coursework rigor, extracurricular involvement, and personal insight questions. Including the honor roll achievement can complement the other parts of your application and present a fuller picture of your academic prowess.
Good luck with your UC application!
