UBCPreMed Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I know that no one knows much about how UBC does NAQ but I have a few entries that I'm not sure would fit in into "High Performance": 1. National-level Millenium Scholarship- based on grades and also community involvement 2. Award from the city based on my contributions in one of my volunteer jobs 3. 1st place in my division in a half-marathon Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminC Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'm putting my Millennium scholarship and city awards under the high performance section - I'd say there's definitely some prestige associated with those kinds of government awards.

KamG Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 but shouldn't the awards go into the seperate Top 5 Awards section. I assumed they only wanted to see our top 5 awards and the rest of the NAQ was for non-award stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure nos. 1 & 3 are high performance no matter you put them and they will be suitably impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaM Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 From what I understand the award will be counted in the award section so putting it in again won't get you any more points. Also, your best strategy for getting in is to make sure that everything you could possibly think of is put down. You can't get credit for something if it isn't there. If you think it is high performance then list it. The worst that will happen is that you don't get a point for it, which is what would have happened if you hadn't listed it anyway.
