Should I put participation in my college application
Answered

I participated in this molecular biology olympiad. I didn't won. I just participated should I put it in my college application. There are like a bunch of things I participated but didn't win. Should I put them?. Also I won this little school debate should I put that? It was hosted by a magazine company in our school.

I would say yes, it shows that you put yourself out there and are willing to try. It doesn't matter as much if you won or lost, most colleges are more interested in seeing what you've done.
