<li><p>For the activities question response, UVA asks for half a page. However, just listing all of the activities that i actively participate in takes half a page. To explain them, i wrote two pages and plan to submit that with my recommendations and transcript. Good idea? Do you think they’ll read it?</p></li>
<li><p>For the teacher recommendations, I basically just had them write a letter about me. Is that all we’re supposed to get? Or is there some form that I can’t seem to find?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I am going to call UVA next week, but would like to know if anyone has any preliminary answers so I dont worry about it.</p>

<ol>
<li>Pick the activities that are most important to you, and explain them briefly. </li>
<li>Yes, do that.</li>
</ol>

<p>But they take a big explaination to be justified. Do you think I'd be penalized for it?</p>

4

<p>Honestly, it's sufficient to list the group, your position, the years of membership and hours spent doing it. You only need to explain activities that are unique to your school/community.</p>

5

<p>What's the activities question about? Is it an essay?</p>

<p>This is probably a given but could I use one of UVA's essay prompts for my third essay? All the other universites I am applying to have bland titles and I really liked a few of UVA's.</p>
