Few last minute questions!

Sorry I keep asking so many small questions.

There are just some things that I’m not sure if I should or shouldn’t include in my application that came to mind when I was checking it over.

Last summer I worked for my moms boss doing a lot of things on the computer. She had to file a bunch of reports because she runs a trade school and needed to get it re-accredited and I did all those reports for her since they all had to be electronic and she didn’t know how. I also did a bunch of other things. I got paid by the hour and probably made around $300 dollars over the whole summer so it technically counted as work but I don’t know how to put this on my application or if I should.

Also I got something called the “President’s Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence” in ninth grade. I can’t remember much about it. Is it worth putting on my application?

Finally, I just took ACTs because of my comparatively weak writing section, I don’t think MIT even looks at the writing and I have a 1550/1600. I wasn’t planning on sending my ACT scores anywhere until I saw them but that will be after I send this. Should I just not mention them on my application and send in the scores when I get them if I think they’ll help?
