<p>so one of my friends told me that you're only supposed to list your principle activities so I only listed like 3 of the ones most improtant to me and then i submitted the app yesterday. </p>
<p>but my activity resume is WAY longer than just 3 activities...actually it's 3 pages and i don't know if i can really shorten it down too much maybe 2 1/2 if i take out one or two activities. </p>
<p>should i just send it by mail to Harvard? should i call them or will that make me seem iiresponsible??</p>
<p>I think you should send them a resume but keep the number of pages down to two. Find out the name of your admissions rep and send it to them with a note saying that the app did not allow enough room to explain all your ec and that you are providing the resume.</p>
<p>The Common Application online did not allow for all my activities to be listed. Hence I have attached to this letter my activity resume. I am sorry for any inconveniences this may cause. </p>
<p>I would take out “hence” (lol). Other than that, I think short and simple is fine.<br>
I went to an info session for Wash U and they said just if you want to submit a resume, just list a few activities and then send a resume. Since Wash U is a great school, I think your schools will add your resume to your application as well.</p>
<p>Having a really lengthy resume will probably end up showing lack of focus in ECs. But having only 3 activities will generally weaken an application, unless those are pretty great.</p>
