Supercurriculars too long ago - person statement
Is there a time limit for when supercurriculars can have taken place? I came second in a local writing competition in 2019, I was wondering if I could mention it in my ps, maybe not specify what year it was? It isn’t an easily searchable competition so they wouldn’t necessarily know. I’m applying to do English if it helps.

It all varies depending on how good the example is and how much space you have available in the PS
- if you won an art competition when you were 4, I wouldn't put that on
- if you won a writing competition, you're applying for English and you've done more things since 2019 to show consistent interest in the subject beyond compulsory learning then I'd say put it in for now, you can always take it out later if you want
