<p>I'm confused on how to name my ECs since the Common App doesn't ask for a name; they only list categories. How, for example, would I list being a member of National Honor Society as more specific rather than simply selecting "Community Service?"</p>
<p>NHS is generally listed as a school level Honor under the Honors portion of the Education section, not in the Activities section. In the description you can say something like: “Requires 30 service hours per year”.</p>
<p>If you intend to list it under Activities rather than Honors, you should give a description in the Position/Leadership box by saying something like “National Honor Society Member”</p>
