<p>Is it okay to leave the activities section of the Common App blank, in favor of an attached resume with more space for details?</p>
<p>I just feel that the format on the common app would lesson the impact of some of my activities.</p>

To allow us to focus on the highlights of your activities, please complete this section even if you plan to attach a resum</p>
<p>^Thanks</p>
<p>Another question: Can i just list the activities in the section and then re-list them with explanations in the attached resume? Would it be redundant? There’s so little space for the description of activities.</p>
<p>The general wisdom seems to be that you should not leave it completely blank. List a couple of your most important activities even if they are repeated in greater depth in the resume.</p>
<p>i have the same question – is it better to list the activities without a description on the common app and just leave an extensive description to the resume?</p>
