How to Emphasize EC's?!

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hello everyone. </p>

<p>I am a student that has good grades in school, good AP scores, and very good EC's, volunteering, experience, and leadership positions. However, my test scores (ACT/SAT) are not that great.</p>

<p>On the common app, there are 10 activities available to be posted, and it is very vague, and you get a maximum of like 25 characters to give in the details about it. How am I supposed to stress the importance of my 15 different volunteer organizations I helped out at, or the 100 hours I volunteered at the hospital? Also, I created my own club at my school, did a summer research internship at a hospital, and am a treasurer of 2 clubs and president of 1 club at my school.</p>

<p>My EC's are the only thing that make me stand out, and if colleges say my EC's they will surely be impressed! However, the common app seems to not put a emphasis on my EC's, and I don't know how else to talk about all of them, even though I talked about some of them in my essay!</p>

<p>Help would be helpful :)</p>

<p>Write about whatever doesn’t fit in the activities section in the additional information section.</p>

<p>*sorry for such a late response, you probably wouldn’t see it anyway</p>

<p>You could always stress the importance through your essays, get recommendations from teachers that know of your EC’s. During interviews, make EC’s a main point!
Good luck! </p>
