In the past, I’ve participated in BPA and Science Olympiad, and have gotten awards in them. I want to list these on my college applications but I need some way to validate my awards. I reached the national level in BPA in 8th grade two years ago and got a Science Olympiad medal at the state level last year, but I do not go to either school where I got these awards from anymore (they still are near me however). Is there some way I can obtain a certificate or something of the like? Thanks!
Are you in 1Oth grade?
College applicants typically don’t include middle school activities or awards. Colleges want more recent accomplishments achieved in 9-12.
For your award from last year (9th?), you could email the GC of your former HS.
Applicants are typically not asked to validate awards. That being said, going forward, you can keep records of new wjust in case.
I agree. Don’t put anything before high school on your college app. And I’m not sure why you’d have to “validate” anything. My daughter applied to lots of schools and for lots of scholarships last year and didn’t have to provide proof of anything.
