<p>I know that there isn't any "set number," but I was just wanted to get an idea of how many I should list. How many extracurriculars are you guys listing in the activities section of the Common App?</p>
<p>I’m listing 7 but taking 8 spots (my main EC can’t be explained in 100 characters…) but however many you list will be fine (even 3 ECs with a lot of depth is good!!)</p>
<p>@Lehigh2017 Thanks for answering! Are you going to list any that you only participated in for one year?</p>
<p>No, but I have 3 or 4 that are only 2 years. All of my Extracurriculars (except for one) are ones that I’m still doing. However, there’s nothing wrong with a 1 year EC, just put it towards the end of the list.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking of doing. So far, most of the ones I’m listing are only two years, but I have a couple that are all four years, and I am still doing all of them.</p>
<p>Oh then you should be fine!</p>
<p>I only have like 5 major ones though 
The other ones I either only did for one year or didn’t put a lot of time and effort into them.</p>
<p>I have like three major ones that consumed most of my free time. My biggest one I’ve only been doing for a couple years too, although I’ve been doing it nonstop for those years, every week, covering most of my free time. I’m going to add a couple minor ones as well, but I have much less EC’s than most other people. Hope it’s not too few.</p>
<p>I have all ten slots filled, but three of the slots are summers (a summer program after 9 and two separate lab internships after 10 & 11).</p>
<p>No more than 5. The rest will sneak under awards or something.</p>
<p>Like 5. Lol if that.</p>
<p>i’ve got 7, with 3 or 4 major ec’s.</p>
<p>bumpppppppp</p>
<p>bump, anyone else?</p>
<p>I’ve got 6, most of mine have been long term but since I moved my sophomore year I have a few that are two years.</p>
<p>I got 9, but the last couple are things that I either no longer do, or don’t show too much commitment to, yet are nice to include</p>
