<p>mihan1: The book is summer if it’s only this summer. And NHS is school-level. Correct.</p>
<p>Thanku thanku!!</p>
<p>And mihan … writer eh??? Someone is going to an ivy …</p>
<p>dchow08/asdfjkl1: Intel STS is like a science talent search contest, at the end of it the finalists will get awards. So i should put this under the awards section and not under activities? But i can’t find the awards section. There’s only the honours section. Is it the same? </p>
<p>Also, must we fill up all 7 activities? How many activities are colleges looking out for? Is there any number that can maximize one’s chances?</p>
<p>oh dchow08 thanks for your help! =)</p>
<p>To the rest: How do we submit the supplement forms (ex. atheletics supplement/international supplement)? Is there a place where we can submit online? Or is it only by hard copy?</p>
<p>Oh and this time round, the form only allows us to put paid jobs under the jobs section. So do i still go ahead and put the unpaid jobs (science attachments) under the jobs section? If not, where do i put them?</p>
<p>No, unpaid jobs should either go with the rest of your ECs or in the additional information section if you don’t have room.</p>
<p>Is it possible to personalize your common application for each college? (i.e. it is possible to submit different CommonApp 500-word essays for each college?) How much can you personalize your common application for each college?</p>
<p>Yeah it is. In fact different apps are for diff colleges … you fill em up separately.</p>
<p>kwalnder: If you won an award, put it in awards. You won an award, right? Then put it in awards. Common sense, really. For example, I was on the math team in high school. That is an activity, so I put that on the activity list. Now, let’s say, as part of the math team, the team won 3rd place at a statewide competition. That would be an award, so I would put that as an award. So on my application, math team was on my activity list and for awards I listed my math team award. Yes, honors = awards in this case. </p>
<p>You aren’t required to fill in a certain number of activities you have. If you do fewer than 7 activities, then put whatever you do. If you do more than 7, put the 7 most important ones.</p>
<p>And to whoever it was: What exactly was your unpaid job? I still think it should go under work experience, because a job is a job is a job, but if you’re, say, volunteering, then that’s a different matter.</p>
<p>ok suppose we won an award both nationally and internationally for the same thing, which one would go into the awards section??</p>
<p>Okay, it’s really not that difficult.</p>
<p>If you won an award, it goes in the awards section. If you won a ton of awards, either just put the most important ones, or you can put them in Additional Info.</p>
<p>I’ll let you exercise your common sense to answer your question.</p>
<p>umm yes i guess then the international will be the one …</p>
<p>what should we put in the description line of the extracurricular activities?</p>
<p>what do they mean by letters earned when doing varsity sports?</p>
<p>u should put the description of ur EC … describe in a line as to what ur EC was and ur role in it. </p>
<p>i think some sort of recognition or award, though i m not sure …</p>
<p>a varsity ‘letter’ i think is earned by most athletes who participate in a varsity sport. our school is a little weird, not every coach gives them out (they’re lazy)</p>
<p>Sorry to bring this up again, but for the book translating thing, if I continue into the school year it becomes an EC? Thanks!</p>
<p>Okay, let’s define extracurricular: “not falling within the scope of a regular curriculum; specifically : of or relating to officially or semiofficially approved and usually organized student activities (as athletics) connected with school and usually carrying no academic credit <extracurricular sports=”“>”</extracurricular></p>
<p>Now, I’ll let you decide.</p>
<p>Question: in the extracurricular activities it doesn´t ask for the name of the club, but for the category… should i put the name of the club in the description line?</p>
<p>^ Yes (10char)</p>
<p>Is anyone aware of when the Transfer Application will be released? </p>
<p>I know CommonApp has stated “later in July” but does anyone know more specifically?</p>
