<p>I won an award and was also selected to write a few articles for my local news paper for an essay I wrote as part of a contest. The problem is that this happened in 7th grade. Could I put this on my application, or can EC's only be from high school? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>ECs should be high school only. If they're long standing, like...say you competed in gymnastics since you were 7, you could probably list that. But awards and things like that should generally be mentioned if they were achieved in HS.</p>
<p>Generally, no.</p>
<p>Most app's specifically say only list EC's that are from 9th-12th grades (or even 10th-12th).</p>
<p>Errrr... crossposted, but I'd like to second the long standing bit (yay for being a gymnast!)</p>
