<p>What does "Because there is limited space on the Common Application PDF, please do NOT enter your information on separate lines." mean?</p>
<p>Wait, so how do I list my honors? </p>
<p>Like this? : apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries</p>
<p>or like this?:
apples
oranges
bananas
strawberries</p>
<p>"apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries" is the way to do it.</p>
<p>Wait, so I just list things by grouping them together? The section so far looks like this:</p>
<p>Principal's Roll of Honor for: ninth grade, tenth grade, eleventh grade</p>
<p>Achievement Recognition Award for: a class, another class, another class, another class</p>
<p>National Merit Scholarship Program Letter of Commendation</p>
<p>Does it instead have to look like this?: Principal's Roll of Honor for: ninth grade, tenth grade, eleventh grade; Achievement Recognition Award for: a class, another class, another class, another class;National Merit Scholarship Program Letter of Commendation</p>
<p>And in the short answer essay, can I write about what the extracurricular activity taught me, instead of describing what I did and what it was about? I just mentioned the activity and wrote about what I learned from it.</p>
<p>What the activity taught you is a good way to go. Let's the admissions person see that not only did you do something, you learned something from it. </p>
<p>My D wrote about fencing, but talked about how fencing changed her.</p>
<p>It depends. This is a short essay. The main essay already where you can state what experience or activity that changed you. This is your test to write very concisely.</p>
