<p>Colleges are NOT interested in anything you did middle school – that includes your grades, EC’s and any ACT/SAT tests you may have taken. There isn’t even room on the Common Application to list anything you did prior to 9th grade. See: [Test-Takers</a> in 8th Grade and Below](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/sat-reasoning/register/special/8th-grade]Test-Takers”>The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board)</p>
<p>“If a student tests in the 8th grade or below, the scores are purged at the end of the testing year. Students can ask to preserve their scores as part of their permanent record if they choose.”</p>
