For example, did you use EC's you did in High school. Ex, I volunteered ina church as an altar server all throughout elementary school/middle school/high school. However obviously I dont do that now. I still volunteer there once and a while but nothing major and not altar serving.

Should I still put this down on a resume/application.
That I altar served in a church in highschool and continue to volunteer therenow.

Nope. Use experiences that you had during your undergrad. Now if you'd worked in a dental lab for a few years during high school that would be more relevant since it could be what drove you towards dentistry, but from what I heard it should only include what you did during your 4 years of undergrad. Now you can talk about that type of stuff in your personal statement, and how it has shaped you in some form or another etc etc, but not in the experiences section.

The rule of thumb is only put stuff on the application from HS, if you still continue it now. For example if you volunteered at a clinic in HS and continued in University.

As far as resume, I don't know if I would really put that stuff on there. If you have nothing to put on there, I guess it's better than nothing, but hopefully you can find something else. It depends on how much it meant to you and if you learned anything from it I suppose.

i'll asnwer your question with another question:

when you were applying to college did you put your accomplishments from 5th-8th grade on there?

seems kind of silly, but that's how long ago you're asking about, just +4yrs!
