Order of Activities

@Common Application

"Please list your principal extracurricular, community, volunteer and family activities and hobbies in the order of their interest to you. Include specific events and/or major accomplishments such as musical instrument played, varsity letters earned, etc. To allow us to focus on the highlights of your activities, please complete this section even if you plan to attach a resume. You can use the ‘Add activity’ button to list up to 7 activities; if you need more space, please use the Additional Information area of the Writing section."

<p>Does it really matter what order you list your activities in on the Common Application? I have participated in a variety of community service, leadership, and club activities, each of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I really can't put them in order. Am I the only person facing this dilemma?</p>

<p>I don't think admissions officers are dumb enough to assume that there are huge divides between activities for every applicant.</p>
