mayantemple Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hey, Does anyone know what the heck they mean by "Competition involved" for the awards/accomplishments? I went through and put down who was eligible or whom I was competing against (e.g. youth from Ontario ages 15-24), but I just realized maybe they just wanted the name of the award or whatever... so confused!

toffeetree Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 it means x number of applicants competed for y number of awards. you can find out by emailing people who organized the awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayantemple Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Oh, okay. So we can't expand on awards we got in high school? For instance, at graduation, or scholarships that we won in gr 12, etc? And what if we can't get a hold of the person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewels1986 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 The year that you hold an award for is generally the year after it's granted (i.e., you might get an award at the end of grade 12, but you're the holder of that scholarship throughout first year). So you should be able to list grade 12 awards, at least for the most part. If you had a fall convocation you could also list that as the date.

If you had a fall convocation you could also list that as the date. i always thought it was the other way around... ie you get the award after you've done whatever it is you did to deserve the award. Unless you're talking about University entrance awards which are based on high school performance but given for your first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickgirl Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 okay, this is getting a bit ridiculous - for numerous awards during university, which was a good few years ago for me, i've contacted my registrars office and they haven't been able to help in terms of the "number of competitors" for the awards. so what do i do? say N/A? estimate, based on the size of my class year at university?
