CV Question

[red7tribe]

I have a question about my CV. I was recently nominated for an award (best history paper in my university). My understanding is that I should not add this to my CV unless I receive the award. Am I correct?

[rising_star]

Correct!

[glycoprotein1]

Congrats on the nomination! I personally would not include it unless very few people are nominated.

[TMP]

Agreed with the above.  Let your adviser brag about it in his/her letter of recommendation.

I say no unless you receive something like "honorable mention."

[AP]

Correct. You only add stuff like this if you were runner up, honorable mention, finalist. And it depends on what. For a university prize I wouldn't include it unless you get it.
