1) I have volunteered at a tutoring center for over 150 hours, but i stopped working there. If i tell colleges that i worked at Guideline Tutorial, is that enough for them to believe me? or Do i need a header?

2) Is Gold place in high school science fair anything to say in the college application? is it counted as something really good or just something that isnt very important?

3) Is there a site where i can check my score for the American Mathematical Competition? I qualified to AIME and i wanted to know if colleges just believe you if you tell them that. Is there any way to make sure? (I just wanted to know because i think this is a interesting thing to say on the college application and i don’t want it to be too common)

4) How do colleges or high schools calculate GPA? What GPA makes a 89? how bout a 94? i heard some colleges dont grade Technical drawing courses/woodshop. Are there any examples of colleges like that?

Thanks
