Common App Help Needed

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

Hey guys,

So I’m really new to the whole college process but I will be applying to schools this fall. The common app just opened and I started to fill some things out already.

I was wondering where I would put honor societies in the common app if I’m involved in more than one honor society?
I realized that the “activities” page only allows 10 activities which would mean that I would have to pick my top ten. Throughout my high school career I’ve tried to be as involved in school activities as possible, so I was also wondering if there are any good tips on which activities look best?

As far as the activities section goes, pick the ones that you’ve:
a. Demonstrated leadership in/shown initiative
b. Participated in for the longest time
c. You are the most passionate about–even if its a small club this can mean a lot

A good tip is to pretend like you can only choose one activity from that list–which would it be? Once you choose that, remove it from the list and put it aside and repeat until you have 10 activities.
