<p>Over the years, I have participated in a lot of community service work during the summers. While I have done service work consistently throughout the school year (maybe an hour or two a week) I have received scholarships to go on 8 or 9 weeklong trips to do mission work in different parts of the country. All of this is important to me, but I don't know where to put it on the Yale application.</p>
<p>I can't put in the EC section because that's already filled up. One of my essays (well, I haven't written it yet, but it probably will) discusses one of my most important mission trips in detail, and the other essay has nothing to do with mission work. I like both essays and don't want to completely rewrite one of them to talk about all my community service, and besides, that wouldn't make a very good essay. </p>
<p>Should I put a short description (one sentence max.) of each trip on a separate sheet of paper and send it in with the dates, locations, and hours spent on each trip? If not, what should I do?</p>
<p>On the online common app supplement (which I think would be very much like the paper app):
Additional Info section?
Second Required Essay</p>
<p>But I do think mailing in an extra sheet of paper with the info would be fine, too. I would put include name, SSN, and title it "Extra Activities".</p>
<p>Many (most) send in a little extra "resume" with their application (I did) try not to be too long, but this is OK! Yale (and other schools) understand all that you have going on and they want to know about it. Don't make it lengthy, be factual, get your point across, they want to hear it. It's okay to send this little extra resume, don't worry about it.</p>
<p>I used the additional information section for something very similar and got accepted. I filled up the space on the online ec box, and that was the only remaining place.</p>
<p>I would do this, but I am applying on paper. There isn't an additional information section on the paper version of the Common App (or...as far as I can tell there isn't), so I guess if I sent in an extra sheet of paper or two that could serve as my equivalent of the Addtl. Info section.</p>
<p>Another question: on the extra "resume" I send in with my community service work, should I also provide little explanations for my regular extracurricular activities, or should I just stick to the community service stuff that isn't mentioned anywhere else?</p>
