Including NHS on Common App - Where does it go?

So I’m a member of the National Honor Society and I’m not exactly sure where I should be including this in the Common App. Is there a specific spot for honor societies, or does it go in the general activities section?

Hi there! Congratulations on being a member of the National Honor Society - that's certainly an accomplishment worth showcasing in your Common App! You should list your involvement with NHS in the 'Activities' section. When you add an activity, select 'Academic' as the type from the drop-down menu. Then, you can elaborate on your specific role and contributions in the description area. This is where you'll add details about any leadership positions you’ve held or initiatives you've been a part of within NHS. Remember, clarity is key, so be as specific as possible about your involvement and the impact it has had on both you and your school or community. Good luck with your application!
