How to....help

Applying to College
1

<p>I would really like to include an activity sheet with my application. I really don't want to put it into a resume format (even though I already made one). I want to at least go in depth with each activity I did, and I don't know where to start. Do I just do this format:</p>

<p>EC name: Description here Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.</p>

<p>EC name #2: Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.Description here.</p>

<p>Can anyone help me out with the basic format in doing an activity sheet pls? Also do I just need 1 sentence in each activity? If someone can provide me how they did theirs, that will be really helpful. Thank you, really appreciate it</p>

<p>truthfully i think a resume is alot better. i've been told that adcom officers like that format better because not only is it more professional, it eliminates all the unnecessary details. they're going to read over thousands of applicant's resume's. i know what you mean by making an activity sheet since i did so much, but in the end... all they want to see is which activities you've been passionate about and whether you've had any leadership roles. I've also been told that the resume should be about 2 pages, 3 pages tops. </p>

<p>if you feel like a resume can't justify your involvement within an activity, you shoudl write your essay on what you did and try to make it creative. best of luck!!!</p>

<p>Resumes are for jobs. I have read in at least 2 respectable sources that adcoms may find using a resume format pretentious. If you would like to see my EC list based on Michelle Hernandes' advice as written in her book, PM me your emal address.</p>
