Mentioning Undergraduate Activities in Secondary

Hi all,

I graduated from undergrad in 2013, and was wondering if it is still OK to mention undergraduate activities when answering secondary questions? (For example, using a challenge in undergrad to answer the question "highlight an obstacle you faced and how you overcame it") Is there a time limit for how far back you can reference an event or is it generally better to discuss more recent activities?

Thank you!

2013 Was 2 years ago, not 10 years ago. If its important in your development, why would you not talk about it?

When "traditional" pre-meds apply junior year, they still talk about their activities they did 2 years prior in their freshman year right?

Yeah - I think within 5 years - it's all pretty relevant

Yeah go for it. I don't really think there is any time restrictions as long as it is relevant.
