<p>Hey, I am currently a junior in Texas getting prepared for the college application process a bit. I was wondering if I could count chess tournaments I played during my middle school years on my college app, so long as I have played at least one high school tournament as well.</p>
<p>I only ask because I performed well at national level tournaments during my youth, so I would not want that to be left off my app.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Sincerely,
Parth Kalaria</p>
<p>In middle school, no. In HS, yes.</p>
<p>It’s as good as any. A high ranking would be especially helpful. GL</p>
<p>no… if you havent won any national tournaments in high school, not worth mentioning.</p>
<p>stick only to high school experience - when adcoms visited my area, they said they absolutely abhor people listing middle school achievements.</p>
<p>just stay true to ur HS experiences. play it safe and get in.</p>
<p>also, if rating <1600, not worth mentioning IMHO.</p>
