<p>Put yourself in the shoes of an admissions officer. Imagine 1000 activity sheets like this, then imagine reading them and taking something notable away from ANY one of them. I could barely bring myself to read through the first half of your list before getting bored to tears. </p>

<p>My personal advice is to cut it down to 3 or so things, keep the ones that are most meaningful to you, toss the rest, give yourself a chance to be remembered. Brown asks you to elaborate on only three anyway...</p>

<p>Not an admissions officer, so take "cum grano salis"</p>

<p>I agree with the person above. You have TOO many extracurriculars. I skimmed through your lists of awards and work experience, etc. I think you need something to distinguish yourself from the rest of the applicants. A focus on something specific--a passion? Your long list of activities show your involvements in things but no sense of directions</p>
