<p>I have a few questions about the Common App and other admissions things:
1) it gives you some space to write extracurricular stuff but the "Details" area is much too small - could I just not fill in the 10 spaces it gives, and just send a separate resume?</p>
<p>2) it gives space for 1000 words to write about 1 extracurricular activity - is that supposed to be an essay? Also, it says to write about 1, but I feel that I could fit in all my details about all the extracurriculars in 1000 words, then I don't need to send a separate resume. Can I do that? or no because it says ONE?</p>
<p>3) How important are recommendations? By some misfortune one of my teachers who was supposed to write my recommendation letter ended up not being able to - and I was only recently notified of that, so I only have 1 teacher and 1 guidance councelor - is that bad? Should I find another person that might be able to write a recommendation letter for me before the EA deadline (Nov. 1)? The fact that makes it worse is that I'm planning to major in the sciences, and the person that ended up not being able to write the recommendation letter for me was the Science teacher. My other teacher is a Foreign Language teacher!</p>
<p>Any advice/help/reply would be greatly appreciated!</p>
