vanillalatte Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Can we include activities we did solely in high school on the u of c application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteon Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Not sure if you can or can't, but if it were my decision I wouldn't. In my opinion, high school activities don't really give a good sense of who the person is. I know some universities only want activities done SINCE high school, but again, not sure if UofC is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkles3288 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I wouldn't and didn't on my app last year; but I could see how if you had done a long-term activity since high school or even earlier (such as playing piano, perhaps a sport, etc) then I would put it down as it shows a long commitment towards the activity.

Agreed - I gained expertise and awards in commitments of a decade plus and showed these on my applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 If you have the space, I don't see how it would hurt. If your app solely consisted of high school activities, I would be concerned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
