<p>I thought an activity list would be a really good idea, and other people have mentioned it, but how do you include it with your application if you're doing the common app? Don't you submit online, and there's no space for attachments? </p>
<p>On second thought, I'm not sure how the common app works completely. I'm apping to Harvard, so do I submit online AND print out the form and mail it in too or what? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Common App online should have a "page" for activities/EC's. If they don't offer some activities you're an ACTIVE participant in (not just for the numbers), then maybe you should add it in with the mailed recommendations and mid-year form.</p>
<p>Do NOT submit it online and a paper form, too!! Universities want one or the other. To do both shows you haven't read the fine print closely enough.</p>
<p>Is it then better to send the paper form, since you get to add the activity list?</p>
<p>same ques here</p>
<p>pur ur resume in additional information</p>
<p>Yeah, agree with pepgirly14. And some colleges waive the tuition fee is the Common App is sent online.</p>
<p>I've heard putting a resume is bad, and that an activity list is better, also due to organization (the additional information is just flowing text).</p>
<p>So let me ask this, for the common app, I can just list 5 or 6 activities and briefly go into detail about them (4-5 sentences)? </p>
<p>No point in writing more or adding a resume because my G.C. rec will cover this.</p>
<p>Whats the difference between a resume and an activity list?? A resume IS an activity list...???</p>
<p>R</p>
<p>What else should college resumes list? I'm hesitant about going to indepth and writing too much because I feel that if I restate my Counselor's recommendation it will be redundant(our school makes us write and answer a long questionaire about our activities these past 4 years--mine was 5 pages) .</p>
<p>So if i was accepted into a youth leadership program that only chose 10 people out of our school, I should put it under a activities list and send it in, since I obviously can't put that on the app itself.
How would i convey that?</p>
<p>I assume that we'd have to attach an activities list. Sure they say don't attach anything, but I guess you've got to do what you gotta do. </p>
<p>I have some pretty interesting stuff that won't make any sense if i wrote it on one line.</p>
<p>Yeah same here, but how do you do all that if you submit online?</p>
<p>Mail it, i reckon. I'm old fashioned, so paper's for me.</p>
