Question about the application

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>One of the questions is something like, “List your ECs in the order of importance”</p>

<p>So is it:</p>

<p>1)Not Important
.
.
.
.
Really Important</p>

<p>OR </p>

<p>2)Really Important
.
.
.
.
Not Important</p>

<p>Do you see what I’m asking?</p>

<p>According to the Brown Common Data Set, they are listed as “Important”. (Top of Page 7)</p>

<p>I think Korean_dreamer was asking about order of importance. 1 = most important activity and 7 (or however many you list) = least important.</p>

<p>(But yes, AmbitiousMind07 is right in that ECs are important in the admissions criteria!)</p>

<p>I thought that’s what Korean<em>dreamer was talking about, but I really don’t think anyone has the answer to that question. My opinion would be to list the activities most important to you, Korean</em>dreamer.</p>

<p>So, when the Common App asks you to “List your ECs in the order of importance”, you list them with regard to the latter example you gave…but I wouldn’t mention anything that’s “Not Important” to you last…maybe something that’s important but not as important and the others you’ll list before it…if that makes sense.</p>

<p>Put the most important one first.</p>

<p>Use common sense – an application is not a suspense novel – do you really want admissions to read the least important thing first?</p>
