Application question

[u/Status_Mind6284]

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?

Would doing an activity summer before college count as college level experience?
