<p>When you apply for a college, are you only allowed to put in awards/volunteer that you did in high school or can it come from 8th grade as well?</p>
<p>no, only ones received during high school</p>
<p>When you’re listing your ECs/awards on the Common App, they ask you to check a box (or boxes) indicating what years you participated in the activity or got the award, and the options are 9, 10, 11, 12, and PG (post-graduation). </p>
<p>Most colleges don’t use the Common App, but it’s usually not recommended to report anything from earlier than high school (unless it was a major award, maybe). </p>
