For the HBS app, the only awards i can think of are dean’s list, being inducted into my major’s honors society, and graduating magna cum laude. Are any of these worth mentioning? They seem to want more unique things...

Definitely mention them though! Don’t short change yourself.

These won’t get you into HBS. Fine to mention but don’t expect to get any real points for it. Just about every HBS candidate with a real shot will have all of what you mentioned and significantly more.

What awards do you think actually help D1? Ones from ECs (like idk say you do a ton of volunteer work and are selected for an outstanding volunteer award)?

From what the HBS video said, it sounded like they wanted the ECs + awards section to paint a picture of your impact outside of work, so I’m assuming work awards (like outstanding contribution on X project, top analyst, etc.) aren’t really what they’re looking for here.
