<p>Hey guys, I'm a rising senior whose dream school is UNC Chapel Hill and I'm a little confused about the activities section on the Common App. As you may know, there are 10 spaces for the ec activities on the common app. Will it look bad if I fill up all ten spaces on it? I know that colleges like to see commitment to a few activities and I have a lot of activities in which I'm pretty dedicated to all of them. Will it look like I prefer quantity over quality if I fill up all the spaces?</p>
<p>no, absolutely fill them up. I had to last year. Its not quantity over quality if they are truly what you enjoy doing and/or related. For example, about half of mine were music activities.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m involved in so many activities but I’m afraid that if I fill up all the spaces it will look like I have so much that I’m not committed to them</p>
<p>The hours speak for themselves. It will only seem like you’re not committed to your activities it they’re easily deemed as nominal (or just fillers) like being part of 5 clubs or something as basic as that. If they’re things like extensive community service, jobs, internships, and projects, then it’s totally fine.</p>
