<p>To those who are blissfully off to college, I've got a few questions as a rising senior!</p>
<p>I've got quite a few extracurriculars and after the first few, don't really know how to rank them. Any tips? In terms of streamlining your application, should you include only the extracurriculars that were meaningful to you or all that you had a significant role/leadership position in? What to do about resumes, extra information in general?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you should rank them by the ones you are the most passionate about/have done consistently over your 4 years, and have leadership positions in.</p>
<p>What about after the first few (which are pretty easy to organize by interest/passion/etc), where things start to matter in about the same way? I’m hoping I make sense…so like, say you have eight activities total. If you have your first couple activities that were meaningful, and then four more activities that were more or less equally meaningful, how do you rank those last four?</p>
<p>Hmm well…I guess it depends. Don’t bother listing them at all if they’re insignificant ECs you did for a year. Colleges don’t really care if you have an EC list a mile long; they’d prefer people who have 3 ECs that they loved and had leadership positions in, received awards in and did for several of their high school years, rather than someone who did one or two things every year but never had any leadership positions or got any awards.</p>
