**"Competition Involved" in awards section

[entity]

Hey all,

 

in the competition section, I put N/A for most of mine because I simply didn't know.

 

For example, the QEII aiming for top scholarship, i couldnt find any info on the competition. I think they want how many received the award vs. how many applicants?

 

Is it okay to put N/A on a lot of them? Thanks!

As annoying as it is, you should probably write a blurb about it. Estimate if you can, but make it clear that it's your estimate.

 

If you really can't estimate, it's better to write that you cannot find information on competition, than to just put "N/A". "N/A" to me sounds like "there is no competition".

If I know that I was chosen one of 15 chosen from 34 applicants, should that go on the form? Would it be better for me to leave it blank and hope that they estimate that it was more competitive than it actually was?

Others may disagree with me, but I would put it down. Being truthful is the key here.

I agree with repede. So the saying goes: the truth will set you free.
