Activities in both supplement and common App

<p>Caltech supplement asks me to list my activities again. I have listed them in common application. Therefore, should I list my other activities in Caltech supplement or just write the same thing as in common app.</p>

<p>I think you should list your most important math/science ones. On the common app, you probably have less focused extracurriculars.</p>

<p>However, there is a problem. I not just apply to Caltech. The other universities do not give me the same place to write my activities down in supplement.</p>

<p>Put the activities you want on all of your applications on Commonapp. Then, put the activities that are most important to you on the supplement, focusing on the math/science. Are there repeats? PROBABLY! Don't worry about it! They ask you this probably because they want an easy way of categorizing your ECs- ok, here are the math/science ones, here are the other ones. they probably don't look at the ones you put on commonapp nearly as much. Anyway, I am pretty sure I completely repeated all or most of my activities on the supplement, and that was fine.</p>

<p>I put the mega listign in the common app addnl info section.</p>

<p>On the CALTECH supplement, I excerpted the specific portions
with the preamble that it was being repeated from the common app
addnl. info section....</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>What happens if our top 3 math/science activities happen to also be the top 3 things we put on common app? In fact, what happens if most of our common app activities list was math/science stuff anyway? Would repeating all 3 activities seem dull? As in, what’s the point of asking for the info again anyway, if the activities were already ranked in order of importance on CommonApp, anyway?</p>
