additional resume/essay help!

<p>I want to attach a more thorough activity list for my application. I don't feel like the space given is enough for me to express the depth of my extracurricular activities. But it exceeds the 2,000 character limit.
I also want to attach an additional essay to certain colleges about "Why I love ____." I read in a book (Acing the College Application) that colleges like to see that you're genuinely interested and they suggested that I do that. However the only way to attach that is to give in a hard copy and place it in with the entire application. Should I do that for my WHY essay and my additional activity list? Or.. is both unnecessary and just serve as extra baggage?
Please help! Thanks!!</p>

<p>what my counselor told me to do was to send it in through the school portion (recs, transcripts, etc.)</p>
