<p>Are we allowed to use abbreviations (for the activities section of Common App - not enough space!!)</p>
<p>What abbreviation are you thinking of?</p>
<p>“JV” for junior varsity – Sure
“IGRYV” – I wouldn’t do it (don’t try to parse it, I just typed some random letters there)</p>
<p>I mean like LLS for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and BIDMC for Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center (I know most people won’t recognize this, but this place is under Harvard Med, and this app’s for Harvard)</p>
<p>and HS for high school</p>
<p>They don’t have time to Google things. Be as clear as possible; only use “abbrevs” when ABSOLUTELY necessary :)</p>
<p>I’d say avoid them if humanely possible. If you were reading a couple hundred apps will you feel like googling abbreviations you weren’t familiar with? Because I wouldn’t.</p>
<p>HS for High School is ok. </p>
<p>The others, they might not follow.</p>
<p>okay thanks for your input everyone!</p>
