Is it relevant to write these things?

<p>As an 8th grader applying to Andover, Exeter, and SPS, is it relevant to write on your application that you
- Did cross country competitively for 5 years ( I quit at the end of 7th grade because it was too hard to continue in 8th with doing 2 other "A" team sports, so I was wondering if it was relevant to write, considering I did it for 5 years)</p>

<ul>
<li>Was on the yearbook sports photography and writing team for 2 years as of last year (I also quit last year, but am planning to start again 2nd semester. Would this be relevant?)</li>
</ul>

<p>Cross country- Yes. 5 years is a long time. On my application, I put X-country down on my application even though it was only 3 years competitively. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t mention on your application that you dropped out because it was too hard…(excuse)…jk. </p>

<p>Yearbook sports photography- Is it of great importance to you? Would you continue photography in BS? If so, then yes. </p>

<p>Writing Team- Yes. </p>

<p>Hope this helped.
BTW- Have you had your interview yet? Or completed your application essays? It just seems a little late for this type of post.</p>

<p>Thanks :smiley:
Yeah, I did my essays, and I’m turning everything in online this week, so I’m doing some final checks on what EC’s to put down.</p>

<p>I was wondering cause I’m not currently doing those activities, but I am still passionate about them.</p>
