Cramming as much as possible in Common App Activity section looks bad?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

I tried to cram as much as possible into 150 character limit for the activities section.
Note: This is a different question from saying “can i put 10 activities” I am talking about for one activity how i explain in the 150 chracter limit

This is a sample of one of what I did. Look at the formatting how I tried to remove every space possible and would put words together with capitals to differentitate the word, abbreviated a lot, etc… does this make me look like a try-hard or something and thus look bad because there is no grammar of course?

Note: Removed/Altered content because of some personal info, so dont worry abt content just understand how i’ve formatted my info:

I can’t even make out much from that. Why don’t you do like everyone else? AOs reading through hundreds of apps are not likely to appreciate this

Answer to part 1: YES

Answer to part 2: oh hell, YES

You example is unreadable. Editing is a skill which every AP will look for and appreciate.

I think your response if very hard to read.

You are far better off with several very well chosen activities than having so much you can barely cram it in the space provided. It’s quality, not quantity. If you have so many separate activities, there isn’t likely enough time to have committed worthwhile efforts into them.
