<p>On my extracurriculars part of the application, it wants me to
"List my activities in order of importance to me and using the space provided/additional paper elaborate and explain my list"</p>
<p>does elaborate mean talk about my history in these super decorated sentences? Or do I just say stuff like </p>
<p>Trumpet, 2 years, 1st trumpet in jazz band
instead?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Elaborate ... they want to see PASSION not a list ...</p>
<p>I guess they ask for whatever details you have to say, so they leave it pretty open and allow you to attach a sheet of paper if necessary. You can talk about years of experience, positions, level, awards, etc. instead of keeping it brief like what you did in your post.</p>
<p>ohh crap, what if I already DID keep it terse?</p>
<p>Like : </p>
<p>Trumpet - 4 years, I have been taking lessons and I am 1st chair of the igh School Jazz Band. </p>
<p>Except I had to cram it in .... should I just do that with all others too? Or should I do the ther piece of paper and super-elaborate?</p>
<p>what you did for your trumpet experience looks fine to me, but if you want to give more details you can white it out and re-do the whole thing.</p>
<p>So just like the facts? </p>
<p>Ex. Student Council- representative, VP, 2 years, 3 hrs/wk, got student discounts from nearby restaurants, raised over $300 dollars for food pantry, funded (for buses) a school-wide donation to the local food pantry, organized and ran student council meetings and school-wide assemblies, started a "change war" between seventh and eighth graders to raise money for the Jimmy Fund and Science Museum, currently raising money for a new digital projector for the auditorium</p>
<p>Or just all this in sentence form then adding something about how much I love serving on the StuCo? Thanks so much!! (I'm procrastinating on the Andover one because it's due Feb. 1 :P)</p>
<p>what kind of passion can i show on the list with DECA and FLBA?</p>
