<p>My counselor told us we could just make a chart and just print it out and put it with our application, instead of writing some of it on the 2 lines they give us and printing out another sheet.</p>
<p>But....How exactly should I format it? I want it to be nice, and I want to give a lot of info on it. </p>
<p>Tips?? Ideas?</p>
<p>I pretty much put the extracurricular activities chart on a Word document but added a short description as one of the columns. Do it landscape, not portrait.</p>
<p>Could you or someone give me a screenie on what it should look like? Don't have to give specifics...but I'm just word-processor dumb.</p>
<p>Activity - Hours/week - Weeks/yr - Honors, distinctions - Description</p>
<p>Sorry for hijacking this thread but,</p>
<p>Would it look incredibly stupid to put "Mentor for my 5-year-old sister" as my primary EC? It really does mean a lot to me, and it is career-oriented, but i'm afraid this will be interpreted as fluff. </p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>blueducky- mmm...I don't think you should put it, since it's not like outside your house...but I do suggest if your essay topics would touch that you should DEF. mention it then. </p>
<p>and dchow- thanks! I only had activity, description, and years involved.</p>
<p>Does it have to be outside my house? The directions include "family activities and hobbies" as part of the Extracurricular section.</p>
<p>sorry this is like a week late response and you probably got an answer...
but if it says family activities and hobbies then I think you can do it then. I wish my college apps had that on them lol</p>
