Do posters and presentations need to be presented at conferences to be listed on AACOMAS?

[BobbyKoch]

I have presented work and posters from undergraduate classes in front of the biology department and in the context of "research fair" type events. None of this work was published and the events were not attended by anyone outside of my institution. They were sanctioned and juried by the bio department.

Would it be inappropriate to list these as presentations on AACOMAS, Achievements, Presentations? Or is this really intended for work that was presented at known conferences? I am proud of the work and I think it reflects well on my application, but I do NOT want to appear desperate or disingenuous regarding my research background.

Thanks for your input! @Goro if you would add a faculty perspective, I'd really appreciate it!

If you have to room, go ahead, but this is low priority stuff.

I would not list. If the poster had any quality, it would have gone to a real conference
