Question about extracirriculars on the common app

<p>What do I do if I have more than 10 extracurricular activities/awards? Would I have to use the additional information section to list them? But then, I read somewhere that the common app is removing the option to upload additional documents.</p>

<p>Also, if I have two similar activities, such as volunteering at two different hospitals, could I list both in one space on the common app?</p>

<p>I’m fairly certain that you can list the two different hospitals on one space.</p>

<p>Are you sure that the 10 ECs/awards are actually significant ones though?
Not ones such as:

<p>Just wondering!</p>

<p>@unfaithful, yeah, well five of them are orchestra related (all county, all state, church orchestra, atlanta symphony youth orch, school orch which i’m concertmaster of) and i’ll probably be doing more orchestra stuff the next year, so i’m worried about not having enough space.</p>

<p>Could all of my orchestra related stuff go into one box then? Or would they each need a separate section.</p>

<p>Would an art supplement be the right place to put all the orchestra stuff? I’m asking in case someone else knows, not telling you that it is.</p>

<p>I thought arts supplement was just a CD/recording of you playing your instrument</p>

<p>It says list your “principal” activities in bold, so not all of them, just the most important. I would attach an additional resume too. You’re looking at the 2012 one right?</p>

<p>I’m in the same situation as you. I’m planning on lumping activities together. I’m putting music related in one box, church related in another, etc. I also plan on attaching a resume if I can. I don’t think I can clearly describe my activities in only the space provided.</p>
