Can you put ECs/Awards before high school on applications?

<p>I have some violin awards from 7th grade and I was wondering if I could put them in college applications.. Because someone said that you can only put stuff in grade 9 to 12 in univ applications, so I was wondering if that was true.</p>

<p>Colleges don't really care about what you did in middle school.</p>

<p>you can, but you probably shouldn't</p>

<p>if what you did in middle school carries over into high school or affects what you do now, then it's considered relevant and you can put it. otherwise, it doesn't really make a difference.</p>
