<p>Are applications for all Universities the same in general or there is a difference for all of them? Because I only know that the UC's only let you list 5 EC's for example.</p>
<p>How can I find out or take a look somehow?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>There’s a reason why they only have five slots…</p>
<p>I know it’s because it’s for your most committed one’s but isn’t it beneficial to have more for some schools or else why is everyone in my school killing for extra things to put on their resumes? And they are the type to know everything about admissions.</p>
<p>“but isn’t it beneficial to have more for some schools” They apparently feel that the top 5 is sufficient for evaluative purposes.</p>
<p>"else why is everyone in my school killing for extra things to put on their resumes? And they are the type to know everything about admissions. "</p>
<p>Apparently not; quality, not quantity.</p>
<p>But if the “laundry list” must be included for the student to feel complete, sometimes colleges allow attachments. Just don’t expect them to be read very diligently.</p>
<p>AHHH
so I should’ve spent time freaking about grades more than how many activities I was doing? But then how do people list all the great things they say they did for college?
Sometimes?</p>
<p>The majority of colleges use the CA. Go to the CA website and download the application. They give you 10 slots for activities/jobs/volunteering/etc. And you can also upload a resume into the Additional Information section.</p>
<p>NOTE: I am not recommending giving a laundry list of activities, like T26E4 says, they’re looking for commitment and accomplishments, not numbers.</p>
<p>Grades will ALWAYS be the most important thing in admissions. Test scores, activities, awards, essays aside, if your grades are not what a particular school desires, then you will have a low shot at getting in.</p>
<p>Also, the last thing colleges want to see if a giant list of EC’s. While showing that you are involved is great, a giant list shows a lack of focus. While you on the inside might know that you are truly passionate about your EC’s, the college will think you did them “just to put them on your application.” Choose the most important and make sure you tie them into you application somehow. Definitely quality over quantity.</p>
