Filler Extracurriculars--list them or not?

Applying to College

<p>Hey ya'll I'm a junior who has a pretty long list of assorted extracurricular activities, including JV (non varsity) tennis freshman year. My mom is telling me to list it, but I've long stopped playing. The thing is, I won a couple tournament awards for school tournaments and it was a great learning experience so is it ok to list as an extracurricular on the common app or a resume? I'm afraid it'll look bad compared to my other activities like orchestra, which I've won a state award in, and make me look like a quitter. On the other hand, I've got good numbers and stuff so it would make me look a bit more well rounded. </p>

<p>Should it be mentioned at all? It'd make a decent essay I think but idk about listing it. </p>

<p>Hmm, you could honestly go either way. Since you won awards for it, it may be worth mentioning. But yes, it definitely is ok to list it on a resume/CA. If you decide to list tennis though, I’d arrange it so that it’s at the bottom of your list (b/c it’s not as strong as your other ECs, like orchestra).</p>

<p>If you have enough activities, I’d leave tennis out, especially because you’re not playing anymore.</p>
