Graduate application Honors question?

[nipwe]

Hi All,

 

I am international student, applying for graduate studies (PhD in Chemistry). I am bit confused at one of the question in  graduate application form.

 

1. It is what to include in honors and honorary society section. 
2. Where to put volunteering 
3. Do Position held on national regional and school clubs e.g president etc ​Are  considered as achievement?
4. Do I need to list scholarship I received on high school in honors section

Thank you very much in advanced for your help

1. Honors are like Dean's list or if you graduated with honors or recieved dept honors, etc

2. Volunteeing can go on relevant employment section on your app. If not, just put it on your CV

3. I would also include those things on your CV. I think of achievements like awards you may have won in school, Best Paper, etc

4. I wouldn't list anything in HS unless it was a scholarship that carried through undergrad, like a Gates Scholarship, etc.

 

Hope this helps. Good luck!
