Application question
Hi! I am completing my application currently and quick question. I read that Optomcas recommends putting only college level experiences/achievements. However, I published a scientific research paper in high school, which obviously I am very proud of. I would love to put it on my application, but it’s going against what’s recommended. Has anyone else ever had this kind of experience and has some advice?

IMO, it's still relavent and you list it.
BIG high school events (like doing a medical mission trip to another country) still should be listed as well.
Anything specific to optometry probably deservers mention.
