<p>Ok, I have 8 major ECs, but I can only put 7 on the stupid common app. If I list them, including leadership positions, years, hours, and awards, can you tell me which ones I should keep?</p>

<li><p>Habitat for Humanity: (grades 9-12; 32wks/yr; 4hrs/wk) school service award</p></li>
<li><p>Key Club (grades 9,10,12; 32wks/yr; 5hrs/wk) committee chair, treasurer, vice president, community service award</p></li>
<li><p>Concert Choir (grades 9-12; 40wks/yr; 4hrs/wk) various solos</p></li>
<li><p>Young Democrats (grades 10,12; 36wks/yr; 6hrs/wk) founder, president</p></li>
<li><p>Speech/Debate (grades 10-12; 30wks/yr; 3hrs/wk) regional finalist</p></li>

</ol>

<p>By the way, in a few of them there was a gap in grade 11. I was away in India that year, and some clubs (such as Key Club and Young Democrats) didn’t exist there.</p>

<p>I think I'll toss speech/debate and keep Spanish tutoring. I'm not really enjoying S/D so much this year, but I LOVE my ESL kids. I just learned how to say "coefficient" in Spanish!</p>
