Larrivee Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Am I the only one here who does not have anything for this section I know many that did not have anything, don't worry about it. You could try to put something that is somewhat relevant in there. I had received a hard-to-get leadership award ( with money ) and I put that in there because I didn't have anything else.

Hackintosh Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 what exactly is supposed to be put in this category? Can local sports tournaments be added here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma15 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 what exactly is supposed to be put in this category? Can local sports tournaments be added here? Others have said triathlons and other major sport activities or advanced accreditation in music etc. I had nothing for that section in my last application and know of many other people who had nothing listed in there and they still got in.

hking03 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 This section would be where you would put: completing an ironman qualifying/running boston/newyork/london marathon running a top tier race (5k,10k, half, or full marathon)- I'm thinking like a 22m 5k kind of race... so fast stuff. If you've placed in a race this would be a good place to put it. qualified for a national team for sports, a provincial team, provicinal all-star, went to provincials, nationals, placed in an international world competition high level in an instrument, spelling bee (national/international), jeopardy... drafted in the CHL (highish round), drafted in the MLB, NHL, NFL, CFL... played soccer in europe, south america... basically, you put down stuff that not everybody else could have done.

qwerty7 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 what exactly is supposed to be put in this category? Can local sports tournaments be added here? The categories are described in the 'step-by-step help' link on the sidebar in the OAS, I pasted the one for the high endeavor catergory below if that helps. I'd say local sports tournaments probably wouldn't fit here, but I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure I also did not have an entry in this category. "Occasionally, applicants have been or are involved in one or more activities at a level that exceeds what can be expected of a typical, average applicant. These individuals receive recognition by way of awards, citations, honours, etc., that are reserved for only the highest examples. If you have attained a high level of performance in an activity or received an exceptional level of recognition, please provide the details."

MarathonRunner Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 what exactly is supposed to be put in this category? Can local sports tournaments be added here? I don't think local sports tournaments count. Competing on the provincial, national, or international level would. Same with other sporting endeavours: just completing a marathon or triathlon wouldn't count. Qualifying for the Boston or New York marathons, or completing an Ironman triathlon (or Ironman distance) would. I would probably include completing an ultramarathon as well, as that's one step beyond a marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaybeMed Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi guys, first time poster here. Would having an internationally recognized 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo be a proper thing to put in this section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
