Would it be okay if I use this part of my app to explain one of my EC’s that im not heavily involved in? I want to bring attention to the things in my application that seem like minor things, but actually mean a lot to me. But i’m afraid adcoms are going to be like “wow, this kid claims to do so much for this one club, so why didn’t he write about it here?”
Did exactly this for one of my ECs that I’m particularly passionate about but haven’t necessarily done as much as the others I listed on the Common App. Just got accepted ED.
As long as you make a compelling case for the activity, you should be fine.
No, that is fine, they aren’t out to second guess or trick you. My dd had an EC she was heavily involved in and the related activities spoke for themselves as well as awards and a mention from a 3rd rec and the GC. So it didn’t need to be explained, she used her essay to highlight another aspect of herself.
oh ok that’s great! Thanks guys!
