thanks for the reply. how far back in my years of schooling do you think i could go though? i'll probably end up just calling an admissions officer

I personally wouldn't include anything from high school on my CV (resume) or list of accomplishments on AADSAS. You could however mention it in your personal statement if you can smoothly tie it in. I would still ask someone from admissions if you have any doubts. I don't think if would really hurt you too much to have it on there, but I feel it would look a little desperate.
Good luck
 
I spoke with an assistant dean at OHSU and he said to list anything that is pertinent to dentistry and that makes you who you are today. Currently I have two experiences from high school listed because they were meaningful to me and will always remain so. Is it a mistake? I hope not 🙂
