Position Held/Details in Activities?

<p>Okay I was wondering how you would write down having a position for something for one year, yet having participated in the activity for 4 years? For example would you write:</p>

<p>a) Key Club Treasurer (11th grade)
<em>check off boxes for 9-12</em></p>

<p>b) Key Club
<em>check off boxes for 9-12</em>
Details: I was treasurer in 11th grade and handled money raised....</p>

<p>Which one would be the best way?</p>

<p>Or do you just not write the fact that you were only treasurer for a year?</p>

<p>I did it like this: (And I was also treasurer of Key Club, so this is actually how I wrote it)</p>

<p>Activity: Community Service
Positions Held: Key Club - Treasurer (11th-12th grade); Member since 10th grade
(Checked boxes 10, 11, 12) 3 Hrs / Week 36 Weeks / Year
(Checked box School Year)
Details: (I explained here what I did as treasurer)</p>

<p>This is how it looks on the common app (aside from the details section).</p>

<p>I hope this helps!</p>

<p>Best regards,

<p>thank you! that helps clear things up. :)</p>

<p>You could also list them separately. 1 activity for each.</p>

<p>what do you mean 1 activity for each? like split key club into two and put member and treasurer? That doesn’t make much sense/I don’t have enough room to do that.</p>

<p>If you want to list them separately, that’s fine. It’s just easier to just say (Treasurer 11-12) and (Member 10-present).</p>
