Extracurriculars: Not enough room to describe!

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I noticed that the room that you are given on the Common Application's "Activities" section is incredibly small for describing each activity. What I did is create a bulleted Microsoft Word document that describes all my leadership and accomplishments in my activities, since I really didn't have nearly enough room on the application.</p>

<p>I'm just curious, does this seem like it will be too much, or overbearing for an admissions officer? Or is this what everyone else does?</p>

<p>I suggest you keep to the character limit. College essays read thousands of essays so it’s best to keep it short and concise. I don’t think it’ll reflect positively with a lengthy wordy description.</p>

<p>It’s not an essay, I just dropped it in the Additional Info section. I feel like, especially with my larger EC’s like my summer volunteer work and band, I need more room to expand and list my accomplishments.</p>
