<p>I mean, I have some truly outstanding achievements, but I can't fit in in the Common App.
Now since so many people are applying, my question is this....
Do they even look at your resume?</p>
<p>List the outstanding stuff on the CommonApp (you can list up to 7 of them). Anything else that you feel worthy of mentioning, list it under Additional Information. There is no need to upload a resume as it would just be a partial-repeat of your CommonApp Activities section. Same goes for Awards, list any additional awards you couldn’t fit in the Awards section under Additional Information. Don’t put every little award or activity that you did, just the ones that you were really involved in, or are particularly proud of.</p>
<p>I agree with what immortalix has stated. The creators of the Common Application understood that many applicants to highly selective universities had much to write about. I’m sure they limited it to 7 on purpose so that only the most important extracurriculars could be displayed, and those 30 minute a week lunch club meetings weren’t so pivotal to the admissions decision. Ask yourself if all the things you plan to put on your applications are true commitments. Other than that, the additional information section is a good place to put the extra stuff. Just be sure you don’t have an essay under that additonal information section. 
good luck!</p>
<p>I couldn’t fit all my extracurriculars on the common app page, so I attached a document listing my activities and awards. If you feel these activities are significant, then there is no harm in attaching them to the common app. If you would like to send in any additional essays, you can just mail it to them with a proper cover sheet.</p>
<p>D couldn’t fit all pertinent info in the very small space on the common app and uploaded an activiity list (resume). The common app very clearly contemplates that some students need to do this as it is referenced on the app itself. If your info doesn’t fit upload a resume.</p>
