Resume: Focus on important activities or also include not-so-important ones?

Applying to College

<p>I want to include an activity list as "additional information".</p>

<p>I see merits for both sides of the argument.</p>

<p>Pros for including the not-so-important activities
1. shows that you are involved in stuff
2. they can just skip the unimportant stuff if they want</p>

<p>Cons
1. seems pretentious to have a 4+ page of activities for a high school student?
2. distracts from your more important activities/boring/trite</p>

<p>What does CC think?</p>
