I was going through the common app and I noticed they say ‘What did you do last Summer’. Whilst I’d be happy to list what I did last Summer, I believe what I did in Grade 10 and 11 was more impressive. And it’s not only during Summer, it was throughout the entire year. Am I allowed to write what I did throughout the year in Grade 10? Or do they only want to know LAST SUMMER?
You typically give them this information in the extracurricular activities of the Common App, or you can write about something in the “Please elaborate on one of your extracurricular experiences section”, or you could choose to write your essay about something you did in Grade 10/11.
In the “What did you do the past two summers” section, just tell them what you did the past two summers.
Is it past two summers? I thought it was last summer?
And what if you did it during the year. For example, what if you did something that wasn’t necessarily an extra curricular, but something you did. For example, held the first teen conference or something (hypothetical just giving you an example).
