<p>I filled all TEN spaces for the Activities portion and am planning on adding one more in the Additional Info section. Is this too many? How many activities are you guys putting down?</p>
<p>I’d say no, it’s not too many. Make sure all your activities have some significance to them though (not one-time events where you volunteered for a four hour shift or something). Last year I filled up all 12 spots and attached more information/important activities and it was fine.</p>
<p>haha…i filled all 12 spots…and am adding 5 more:( but I cannot think of what to cut. I played a sport, did speech team, scholar bowl team, an internship, 2 summer jobs, 2 clubs as president, one club as vice president, and I was in about 3 others as a general member, and i was a freshman mentor and a peer counselor, and i hold a state position for key club, oh and i did 2 diff summer volunteer programs that were like at least 20 hours each. so idk what I am supposed to do. i think cutting things would be like…selling myself short:(</p>
<p>Colleges dont want to see a laundry list of clubs, that gives them no image of who you are. Only include important ones that you were actively involved in or held a leadership position in. If you have more than 10 with this criteria and think they are all important then you should add it to the additional info section.</p>
<p>All of these include active and deep involvement, but you guys are right, perhaps I should try to cut 1-2 of the activities out.</p>
<p>I do not think there is really anything I can cut in mine, although I may just take out 2-3 of my clubs for the heck of it. But I think taking things out that are important will do more to hurt you than help you. If it is 11 clubs=just keep those that are important/highlight your interests. </p>
<p>However if it is 5 clubs that you were highly active in, a sport, a summer job, an internship, eagle scouts, debate team, and a volunteer program…that is variety and each and every one of those is important, so in that case you should keep them all. Just my opinion:) hope it helps though</p>
<p>how do you dedicate a good amount of time to 10+ activities? time is a limited resource.</p>
<p>I filled in all ten spaces as well. I think I’m going to cut one or two of them though.</p>
<p>I did fill up all ten spaces, surprisingly. However, two spaces were dedicated to one activity, to show that I spent different time on it on the summer than in the winter.</p>

<p>…it really is not all that complicated. Tons of kids can be in 5 clubs and a sport sometime throughout the duration of their high school careers. And summer jobs and internships are pretty simple as well. 3 summers= 2 jobs and 1 internship. </p>
<p>and then during one of those summers you could work a volunteer program a couple days a week at say…the local library? whatever…</p>
<p>I am not saying this is expected of every student, I am just trying to say that if the OP clearly was a highly involved individual, which I believe he/she was since he/she is having this issue in the first place, then this is a very possible scenario, especially on CC.</p>
