<p>Am I allowed to post academic awards I've received before High School?</p>
<p>Not petty elementary school honor rolls or anything, but things like a national level award in search for talented youth by Johns Hopkins University, AMC 8 Honor, Math is Cool 1st place awards, etc. etc.</p>

<p>LOL
Good one.</p>
<p>Generally, schools are not interested in awards you received before high school. It should be something exceptional and unique to merit mentioning. Like you were the youngest person ever to sail alone around the world. Or you saved a life and got an honorary paramedic award. Something like that from 7th-8th grade is definitely appropriate. The JHU/Duke talent searches are not on that level.</p>
<p>What if it’s a well-known award that isn’t restricted to age limits? For example, many people on CC use the ABRSM Exam Certificate (that’s probably not what it’s actually called, haha) as an award/honor. Typically, people take the exam in high school, but if I earned it before high school, would that still be notable?</p>
