How far back do Extra-Curriculums go?
Answered

Hi, I got a national award in 7th grade, I would like to know if this can apply as a non-art competition, and if community service hours count from middles school too.

Personally, I would not include middle school activities unless they are in the summer when you are transitioning from middle school to high school. For example, I volunteered for UNICEF from 6th to 8th grade, but I think by the time I am in 12th grade, colleges won't care about that so much. That is my opinion though and some people might disagree.

In short, I would say just include high school extracurriculars.

I hope this helped but if not, then hopefully someone else can provide a better answer.
