Online Application?

<p>Hey everyone, I’m finishing up my online transfer application and had a question about the page including extracurricular activities. It only provides six spaces for activities, so how do I include additional acitivities. I’m going to send my resume, but that only includes the details/responsibilites of those six activities that I filled the spaces with. I guess I just don’t know where to include those extracurriculars that aren’t that meaningful, but I still put some time into. Anyone have any ideas?</p>

<p>Add the additional activities to your resume.</p>

<p>there's no room, my resume is already 1 pg and I don't want to go over the 1 pg norm for resumes.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>How long are your explainations? You just listed 6 ECs...that should be like half a page...but for college apps, the "resume" (it's not a formal resume...more like EC list) spans to no more than 2 pages. Go over it, it's not set in stone, you aren't applying for a job, it's a college app.</p>

<p>My activity list was four pages. Don't worry about the length. Worry about the depth of your explanations.</p>

<p>Lucky98, what did the format of your activity list look like? As of right now mine is more like a resume where I have my objective near the top, then my education to date, then my extracurricular activities with a few bullet points under each for my explanations/duties/responsibilities. How did you go about it? thanks</p>

<p>Hm, isn't that a bit redundant because they ask you about your education to date in your app...cross that off and add your other stuff. That should all fit onto one page now</p>

<p>Mine was not a resume, but an activity list. I read Michelle Hernandez' 'A is for Admissions' activity list format. Just open up word and create a chart with an activity,position, hours/week/year, description columns. For the description I wrote in paragraphs. I seperated the activities by: school sponsored non-academic activities, community involvement, school-sponsored academic activities, extracurricular academic activity, and awards.</p>

<p>I would stray away from a resume format because you seem limited by bulletin points. I think they want to see the depth in your activities. If you have a large amount or a small amount of info to state, the activity list is the way to go.</p>

<p>did you end up repeating some of the stuff that you filled the online space with?</p>
