Achievements

Overview

In this section, you can enter any relevant professional or academic achievements in several categories, or types. Review the definitions below, consider the achievement you earned, and choose the category that you think best fits.

Although you can enter any achievements that you believe are relevant to your application, we recommend focusing on those achievements within the last 10 years and at the collegiate level and above.

Achievement Types

Awards

Awards received as a prize, such as trophies and medals.

Honors

Honors received as a special distinction for work done, including Dean's List and memberships in honor societies, such as Phi Theta Kappa.

Presentations

Presentations delivered in person and virtually, at on-campus and regional and national conferences, or in public-speaking engagements.

Publications

Any work publicized through media organizations, including newspapers and journals.
