Guest GloballyAware Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hi, Two things :-) 1. I'm wondering if someone could tell me the best way to 'date' awards - it seems as though the site will not let me enter just one date (for instance the month I received the award) and requires both start and finish dates. Say, for example, I was to say that I was given an award for community leadership, how would I date that? 2. I'm currently in Thailand and doing research until the end of January. Again for dates, would you recommend that as the "end date" I enter ----- to signify that it is on-going, or that I put January 2006 as I know that's when it will end? Thanks so much! -GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VS12 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 how bad does it look if you have not received any awards? i mean, i was given some arbitrary award in high school, like being on the honour roll for a semester or something equally trivial. but i didn't get any entrance scholarships, nor have i received any awards in university. how bad does it look to adcoms to see this empty space on an application?

Guest docormama Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 GloballyAware, 1) For dating my awards, I put the start and end date as the same date. 2) I would put January 2006 if it lets you, unless there is a possibility that it will last longer. VS12, As long as the rest of your sketch is full, i am sure it will not reflect terribly. The whole research section of my sketch is empty and I got an interview last year. For myself, I did an international placement as part of my program. I am not really sure if it belongs in my sketch since it was technically part of my degree. Or maybe I should just reflect it in my questions where appropriate? Any input would be good. Also, if I took a continuing education course at college, would that be under education, or extracurricular activities? Thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uftstudent Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hmmm...for awards i've been putting the school year i recieved it for (for example in high school and scholarship). For entrance schol. i just but the start and end date as the same. Anyone know which way is better, or will this combo work? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
