<p>In freshman year I took third place in the science fair and got a bronze medal. That same year my band took third place in the talent show. In jr year I passed the states computer technology exam and got a certificate. Can and should I put these on my application?</p>
<p>Yes to all of them. </p>
<p>The point is not so much the medals themselves but the fact that you are taking your interests in science and computers to a higher level - and obviously succeeding at it. That’s important - schools like to see initiative.</p>
