<p>I have a few EC's that are less obvious that I would like to explain, perhaps in the Additional Information section of the Common App (or supplements), but I don't know if I should instead be explaining all of my ECs in a list/table format.</p>
<p>Would it be acceptable for me to explain only the ones that are less obvious? Or would that be procedurally strange?</p>
<p>Or should I just leave the activities as they are? Would it be bad to have unobvious activities that are not explained?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>Definitely explain the ones that need explaining. As to what format/whether to explain all of them like that, I'm trying to decide the same for myself.</p>
<p>Should we use complete sentences in the additional info box when explaining or is this ok...</p>

<p>jaimie,
your format is fine.</p>
<p>thank you, Northstarmom.</p>
<p>Only explain the ones you think need explaining- that an average ordinary person might not know.</p>
