<p>Is it okay to include national awards from high school senior year on college resume?</p>
<p>Graduate schools don't care about your high school career (maybe except GPA and SAT). They just look at your college years. That's it.</p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
<p>Maybe I should change the title. Nope. It's too late. Come on, guys? I need someone else's opinion to confirm hairy potty's statement.</p>
<p>I have another question similar to this...When looking to get into grad school or get a job after undergrad, would they consider work experience or research experience in high school?</p>
<p>chocolate, it all depends on what type of work you are looking for, and what type of experience you have. Each employer is different.</p>
<p>hairypotty is correct, as far as I understand. Grad schools don't want to know about high school achievements. They pretty much figure you have out lived those years in college and have put it behind you. Typical Grad school applications ask for college transcripts and recommendations from college professors along with *college*GPA and GRE/GMAT/MCAT/LSAT scores...</p>
<p>The only thing you might want to put from high school is if you already did something like top-notch research at a university in the field you want to go into for grad school. If it's not that caliber the answer is no.</p>
<p>I have heard that a National Merit Scholarship (if you're an actual winner) is very prestigious and can stay on your r</p>
<p>Its like when you apply to colleges they don't care about your middle school achievements...the process goes on in a similar fashion. Unless it was something outstanding and relevant to your major...the answer is no</p>
<p>OK. Thanks guys. The research that I have done has been with professors and related to my field. However, it wasn't really incredibly high caliber...I didn't publish anything, but I guess the data from the work I did was probably published. Do you think that would count?</p>
<p>Some more information:
Summer job- at NIST, compared videos from a search and rescue robot completing different tasks and analyzed them using a program, this was used to decide which operator interfaces would be most effective for these missions.
Research during summer- tested a vibrotactile belt to see how sensitive people are to the vibrations and what changes would have to be made to the belt. The belt would be used to tell a robot's operator if the robot was very close to its surroundings, etc.
Research during school year- Using a program (labview) to control equiptment for a magnetic refrigerator.</p>
<p>I believe relevant work experience can be included. If someone does business internships in high school and college, these should be able to go on a permanent r</p>
<p>Something on the level of being published might do. Other than that I really doubt any grad school would care.</p>
<p>I disagree. Grad schools are often interested in applicants' long-term commitment to the field. A pattern of involvement stretching back to high school or before is always worth noting (though in a highly condensed version).</p>
