<p>On each line for the activities section, there is not enough room for me to write all my piano accomplishments that I wish to put down. Should I just split them up into two-three different parts, or just attach a resume?</p>
<p>Also, would it be a good idea to say I played the piano for 10 years, or is that irrelevant?</p>
<p>Finally, do most people send in a separate resume (very similar to common app) on top of their common application to colleges like Duke and WashU in St. Louis?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would not do that. If you want to send in anything, send in information that is not available on your common application: the admission officer only spends a certain amount of time reading each app unless, of course, say if something in the files catches his/her attention and requires more detailed review. A separate resume that seems to list all the things already mentioned on the common app may be shoved to the side and simply overlooked.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sure, why not? For instance, you can subtly express that by saying “my 10-year piano experience” instead of “my piano experience” somewhere.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Either can work.</p>
