Extracurriculars.

<p>Err, How the heck do I fit this into the common application. Also, is there anything that's particularly useless that I can get rid of? ALSO, do I put extra stuff from here into the additional info section or just attach a separate resume. If it's the latter, then would I take off the stuff that I've already put in the EC section of the common app?</p>

<p>Also, for ranking most important to least, I can't decide whether to put Speech or MUN. MUN has given me more "prestigious" positions and stuff, and I've definitely had more of a quantifiable influence on that club just because it was in shackles before and there were so many things to fix, it was easy to look good... but speech has had a profound influence on me and I think I personally value it more even though I'm not president. My essay has a little to do with speech as well. </p>

<p>Your best option would just leave out everything except the 7 most important ECs to you. The little ones won’t matter much anyway. </p>

<p>But if absolutely MUST put on something extra, either attach an additional resume sheet, or put it in additional info.</p>

<p>Eh, I’m not sure which 7 though - not all of my stuff is in school and almost everything I’ve done (besides freshman photo), I’ve put a lot into/received recognition/officer positions in.</p>

<p>Hey how the hell can you do all these things, chasingstar?</p>

<p>haha, a lot of them have different times. the internships are in the summer, and some of the things are just more fun than watching TV (though I manage to get in Jon Stewart most nights :D). I don’t know though, my grades have suffered this past year because I hadn’t learned effective time management yet. That probably hurts me more than these help me.</p>

<p>add the seven most important things and attach a resume if you are completely unsure</p>
