You sound very eager to skip ahead in life! Are you already 8th grade age is that why you are trying to do 7th and 8th at the same time?

I will say the same thing I say to every kid - you are trying too hard to fill a resume. If you do not currently play violin, or take acting classes, it is not that relevant. On an application you can certainly list past awards (please nothing from 5th grade or younger though) but past activities that you don’t do anymore should be left out. The only exception is if they are something you took a break from but honestly plan to resume in BS. They are admitting who you are now, not who you were in 6th grade.

You are probably a strong candidate, you don’t need the extra filler.
