<p>Does anyone have advice on how to place your extracurriculars in order of importance? I have twelve on my list, which is the maximum number, but four of them are instrumental music-related. I definitely think music in general should be at the top, but then that makes everything else look like a lower priority than it is, since it's all getting pushed down four places...</p>
<p>How seriously do you think colleges consider the order in which these things are listed, anyway?</p>
<p>Okay, maybe I’m the only person for whom this is an issue, haha. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I don’t think it really matters, they see all your EC’s anyway.</p>
<p>Haha I’m having the same issue too!!! Well I only chose my top 8 or 9 ones but I can’t put them in a certain order. They’re all important to me yet it seems that I don’t care about the ones at the bottom :p</p>
<p>My plan is to attach a resume and since I actually have more than 8 ECs hopefully they’ll see those must be important if I chose to put those out of all of them.</p>
<p>or you could make it clear that its listed alphabetically</p>
<p>I listed first by the most importance, which for me is debate. Then I did by career orientation which is all the medical activities I have done. Last was the items I spend the least amount of time on and finally the stuff I no longer involved in (messed up my knees playing soccer jr. year so I no longer play).</p>
<p>I listed it so that the one I loved the most was the first, but I kind of kept how many years I’ve been participating in mind as well.</p>
<p>Well obviously if you have 12 EC’s there’s going to be ones you put above others. Or else it looks like you half-assed all of them or you are not putting your major ones.</p>
