<p>Hey guys.
okay so on the common app when I'm stating my extracurriculars, should I bunch them together? for example, if i volunteer at 3 different organizations, should I place them all under one big category of "community service?" how does everyone's EC box look like? anyone have examples?</p>
<p>thanks! </p>
<p>also, how bored will an admission officer be when he/ she says basic school awards (student of month, honor roll, etc) as the only awards listed? </p>
<p>thanks for the help</p>
<p>

<p>I would list these as three different things. Since you did service at three different organizations, the activities you did, hours you spent, and positions you held would all be different.</p>

<p>If those are the awards you have, put them down. They may not give your application a huge boost, but they’re still awards and you should still put them down.</p>
<p>i had a similar question to your first question. what if the hours aren’t many, though? i have 2 ‘teacher’s assistant’ type of community service, the first 30 hours & the second 70 hours, 2 different places, but both freshman year. should i separate them or group them together?</p>
