I have a question about the page for ECs

<p>Does Brown just want you to list your ECs and stuff on that page? Should we explain each one?</p>

<p>Does anyone know what they want for that?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>There's a thread a couple pages back on this.</p>

<p>It seems as though most people are making a list (with time, years for each activity) and then describing in a paragraph or two any activity they think should be elaborated on.</p>

<p>Everybody does it differently, but most people explain their ECs in some form. Such as essay/paragraph form. I listed each one and then had a paragraph to explain it.</p>

<p>Edit: What descant said.</p>

<p>did you just do your most important 2 or 3 or all of them?</p>

<p>so i assume you can go onto another page then?</p>

<p>Mine was 2.25 pages. I had all of them on there.</p>

<p>damn thats really long.</p>

<p>so i assume you started on the page they gave you and just continued on?</p>

<p>did you explain everything or just the things you thought needed an explanation?</p>

<p>Explained them all, although the less-obscure ones had only a sentence or two whereas some of the more obscure activities had as much as a paragraph.</p>

<p>did you do the paper app? because the paper app says in the space provided.</p>

<p>thats kinda weird.</p>

<p>I did it online, but if it were the paper app I'm sure you could say "See attached" and then attach the pages you've done. I know a lot of people who've done that. Otherwise, just type/write it small so that it all fits on one page.</p>

<p>yea im sure people have said see attached but they say in the space provided so idk.</p>

<p>fun times.</p>

<p>oh i have another question, for athletic interests on part I, is that only for serious athletes or can it be for club stuff too?</p>

<p>Club/intramural too I think. That's what I assumed and put down some stuff.</p>

<p>yea I hope so.</p>

<p>thanks man.</p>

<p>did u guys divide up the ECs and Awards?</p>

<p>like i was thinking...</p>

<p>First Section Extra-Cirricular Activities</p>

<p>Second Section Awards</p>

<p>Thirds Section Hobbies</p>

<p>but the app says to put in order of importance..... so confused</p>

<p>i think im doing order of importance within each catagory.</p>

<p>in a college app book i read a quotation from an admissions officer at brown and he said they'd rather not see a "laundry list" of activities but rather something more creative</p>

<p>You should've told me 2 days ago...</p>

<p>hey i didn't see a thread like this one before. i wouldn't worry about it too much though, especially if you explained some of the ec's.</p>

<p>thanks...</p>

<p>too late though.</p>

<p>im drained and a resume with explanations will have to do.</p>
