<p>I think I am going to include my 7 main extra curricular activities that i participated in in high school on the common app. there is also a space for work experience and awards. i will write my job and awards in that space as well. In addition, i plan to make one resume/activity sheet to attach on which will include a master list of all my activities, awards, jobs, etc. I will include a couple sentences for each activity outlining it and also what years i participated in them or received the award and how much time was spent towards it. it will probably be a page or two long.</p>
<p>is this a good idea?</p>
<p>If it’s not simply a repeat of what’s on the common app, I think it will be beneficial. Just don’t make it too long and stay with the main ECs.</p>
<p>I did what you did. At the top of the sheet I had ec’s and jobs. For each one I had check boxes for grades involved, a box for hours a week and weeks per year, and a short description box (try and keep it to one or two brief sentences or phrases). I ordered these based on the importance I gave them. The second half of my sheet was awards, so I left the grade check box, but dropped the hours per week and weeks per year. Order your awards also by importance. Mine turned out quite organized and was easy to read.</p>
