Describing ECs?

<p>Hi CCers!</p>

<p>So right now my EC descriptions are really basic and straightforward, but I don't think I have enough room to describe everything I have done. For example, I have organized homecoming for 3 years, Prom for 2, Pink Out (breast cancer awareness campaign) for 3, blood drive for 2, etc. I also don't have room for all of my community service on the activities section. How should I go about mentioning all of these things? Should I upload a resume? </p>

<p>Thanks for any advice CC! :)</p>

<p>Use the additional information section. You might create an activity called School Event Organizing, and put “See additional information” in that itty bitty space they give you. Then in additional information have a header that says “School Event Organizing”, and bullet out your activities and brief descriptions. You may want to use a plain text editor (not Word) to do this, put an extra space in as needed to get the spacing you want, and copy it into the Additional Info section. Be sure you print out your app to see how it looks in case you need to fix the formatting and try again. You can do this with multiple activities if you have more info than fits in the small space.</p>

<p>I personally would avoid the resume, they tend to be redundant, which is harder for admissions.</p>

<p>Okay, that’s kind of what I was thinking, especially because I really don’t like them either. I just saw that small space, I think I will use that! Thanks so much! </p>
