A few questions on CommonAPP

[collegefreak1]

<p>1). I can't find my parents' undergraduate school under "School Lookup"
They went to school in China, but the country isnt even listed when I go to enter the country. They have Hong Kong, etc etc...</p>

<p>Should I Just leave the undergraduate part blank and fill in graduate school (in the US) only?</p>

<p>2). Does anyone have any samples for how to fill out EC's? For example, if i'm a music person, do i do a separate slot for Band, jazz band, district band, small group, competition...etc etc or just group them all into 1 "EC"</p>

1). I can’t find my parents’ undergraduate school under “School Lookup”
They went to school in China, but the country isnt even listed when I go to enter the country. They have Hong Kong, etc etc…

<p>The answer is right on the page:

If your country is not listed, leave the Country selected as United States of America, then enter in the School Name in the appropriate field and click on the Search button. From the list of results, click on the Not Found link.

<p>You could do either. If you’re low on space in the activities section, you could combine all of those into one section called “Band” and briefly explain all the different components of the activity in the description. If you have space to fill, you could split the activities up if they don’t really go together. </p>

<p>Just use your best judgement and common sense.</p>
