Transfer app question

I am interested in why the activities and awards asks for things from 9th grade. Since when was high school volunteer work important for transfer apps?

Same thing I was wondering. I had heard that if you are applying as a transfer student, the only awards/EC’s that are relevant are those you receive/participate in during your two years at CC? I have a lot of friends who are planning on transferring Fall of 18 from a CC or another University, and say they are only including their awards and EC’s from high school because they do not have any from college, but I had talked to a counselor who said that HS activities and awards do not weigh heavily on the transfer app
