<p>For the UC Apps, I'm out of space for ECs so is it a good idea to put best violin player in school orchestra of 5th grade in the honors and awards section so that they know I do violin and 4th place in state for chess?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t include stuff from 5th grade. Chess stuff u can put in the additional information spot.</p>
<p>Nobody cares what you did in elementary school, really. At best they’ll just ignore that information; at worst, the person reviewing your application is having a bad day and will get grumpy.</p>
<p>My point for wanting to put it up is so that they know I do violin and chess because my ec is filled up already. I thought additional weren’t for ecs.</p>
