<p>For the short answer on the common app:</p>

<p>"elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities..."</p>

<p>Do you think it's best to do so on:
- a sport, Cross Country ( more common, but builds character, strength and endurance)
-or-</p>

<ul>
<li> Amnesty International ( less common , have accomplished much like raising $1500 for Haiti, reflects my interests in human rights, etc. )</li>
</ul>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Amnesty.</p>

<p>I understand where you’re coming from with strength, endurance, etc. with XC… but that’s exactly what half the rest of applicants will say their sport did for them too.</p>

<p>The key to any college app is being unique, which can definitely be accomplished with an essay about Amnesty.</p>
