Please help me decide which EC's to LIST?!

<p>I would like to know which 5-7 ECs in order of importance or most outstanding that I should list on my applications?</p>

<p>-4 years varsity tennis letter winner
-Senior Class Historian (elected by peers)
-President/Founder of Sports Debate Club
-Member of Key Club
-Community service award for completing a certain amount of volunteer hours
Volunteer work at a local tennis club, through Key Club, camp counselor, district wide volunteering events, and various other events. (100+ hours)
-Member of A.S.P.E.N.-12 (Had to try-out)(Teach other teens about sex, aids, bullying, etc)
-Won the gold medal in tennis at the Jewish Olympics in Austin, Texas</p>

<p>THANKS.</p>

<p>Simply, we have no idea of knowing which ones you find most important. I mean just because you have some form of leadership doesn't necessarily make it more important than another EC, this is really something you need to figure out on your own in my opinion.</p>

<p>Tony is right. Think of going in for an interview, with the interviewer holding your EC list. Which ones do you want to be asked about.</p>

<p>Key Club tends to be nonsense at most schools, so unless you spent TONS of time working just through Key Club activities, then I wouldn't list it.</p>

<p>ASPEN and Tennis (because you can list the award under it) seem to be the most important.</p>

<p>What in the world is the sports debate club?</p>

<p>Key Club? is that a club for volunteer work?
Its called KAYS club at my school..</p>

<p>just use the common application and send in a resume. then you can list them all.</p>

<p>assuming ur screen name is referring to duke i would include ur community service and volunteer stuff... they are HUGE on that stuff at duke (i saw it as a plan to attempt to try and get in the good stead of durham residents seeing as the town-gown relations are crap). definitely do key club, and then ur sports debate club(sounds sweet i wish they had it at my school) and ur tennis stuff. that way u have two angles 1) community service 2) sports</p>

<p>This is gonna sound kind of cheesy, but just follow your heart. If you felt tennis was a challenge and you learned the most from it, put that first. They might actually be impressed that you didn't just choose the "biggest name".</p>
