Questions about the CommonApp

<p>Ok, my first question was how many ECs are you allowed to list on the Common App? 10?
Also, are you allowed to elaborate on each one? </p>

<p>Second, are school awards important? Does the CommonApp ask for them? I don't have many school awards because it's pretty competitive even though I have a 4.0 GPA.</p>

<p>Anyone? .</p>

<p>C’mon no one knows? :(</p>

<p>This year’s form allows 10 items in the Activities section. You can make a dummy account this year as a student to see the form. All common app accounts are wiped out each year in July before the next application season.</p>

<p>Ah thank you!</p>

<p>Also, if I volunteered in like 4 different places, could I put that all under one Activity? Or should I list one volunteer place, and put the other 3 in the Additional Information Space?</p>

<p>Volunteering can certainly be listed in a single Activity space, even if done at several locations.</p>

<p>School awards are not a separate category in the app. If you have academic awards from your school or elsewhere, the correct place to note them is in the Education > Honors section.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>
