<p>Would it seem strange if one of my recommendation letters mentioned an activity I was involved in (for several years), but I left it out of my CommonApp activities?</p>
<p>Not strange at all. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>No, it’ll be fine.
Just wondering though, if you have an activity over so many years, why didn’t you mention it in the activities section?
Cos universities prefer long term dedication…</p>
<p>It shouldn’t be a problem as long as it is not one of your key activities. If you volunteer 40 hours a week and dont mention it but you put down that you are in the knitting club, then it may raise questions and seem illegitimate. As long as it is nothing too extreme you should be fine.</p>
