<p>I just posted the following question in the parent forum, maybe posting here is more appropriate.</p>
<p>In common app, the summer before 10th grade is considered 10th grade, my son told me. But I'm still confused. </p>
<p>My son received an important award in July, the summer before 10th grade. So he check "10th grade" in commonapp. However, he entered the competition in March, during his freshman year. My question is: Should he check this award in 9th or 10th? (this competition does not categoried by grade level)</p>
<p>Maybe I am just thinking too much! Haha! But I'd like to hear your opinion on it. Thanks in advance.</p>
