So i have volunteered at a hospital for 100+ hrs during high school, but haven't volunteered since. I'm still looking for volunteer opportunity right now, but should I put down high school volunteer experience in the application?

why wouldn't you put down the high school volunteering? What possible disadvantage could come from that?
 
I was thinking the same thing, but I had read a post a while back where someone said that it might not be a good idea.

I had started a club in high school, but I don't know if that would be relevant.
 
If you did something significant in highschool and AADSAS doesn't specify like TMDSAS that they must be activities post-highschool...sure, go for it. I personally wouldn't include anything from high school.

Hopefully you have done much more significant service/ECs/shadowing since highschool. If not, good luck...
