<p>Can you right an essay about an experience from before high school, such as in middle school? Even if you can, is it looked upon unfavorably by colleges?</p>
<p>I wouldn't think so, as long as you reveal your inner self and personal attributes.
I'd say go for it.</p>
<p>Why would it be looked unfavorably upon?
The prompts say "topic of choice" or "personal experience" - it doesnt limit them to "experiences during high school."</p>
<p>Don't worry and good luck!</p>
