<p>Ok, so the school I really want to go to is Davidson. They offer two different admission choices: the common app plus the Davidson supplement or the davidson application. I was going to do the davidson app because i thought it would make me look more committed because I took the time to fill out a different application.
However, I'm rethinking my decision. I have some ECs that really need some explaining (because they were 1 yr involvements however they are really special ECs...I started at a brand new school that had just opened the yr before I started as a 9th grader...freshmen yr I was on two committees...basically, on those 2, I wrote the schools honor code and the community service philosophy).
See, davidson's application doesn't give me room to explain that -the common app does! and I compared the two admission choices - they ask the same things. The essay davidson uses is the common app, and the supplement includes the two extra ones they want you to answer. the other forms are exactly the same.</p>
<p>Is this a safe choice? I think its a better choice but I don't want to hurt my chances at my dream school.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>also, am I right that the common app allows you to explain this two - that space beside where you put the activity, thats where I can put a brief explanation.</p>
