<li><p>If I do different forms of community service (help out at a nursing home, started a volunteer orchestra, online research for non-profit), do I list each one separately under activities? I’ve seen some people just group everything into one spot under “community service.”</p></li>
<li><p>What about awards that aren’t really “academic” and aren’t really related to an EC? Like essay contests? Do I still put those under academic honors, because some of my most important awards aren’t academic or EC-related.</p></li>
<li><p>I have more than 7 classes! What should I do? It only lets me fit in 7. </p></li>
<li><p>Is it okay if one of your schools doesn’t have your intended majors if they let you create your own major? Or will that look like you haven’t really researched your schools?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I have similar questions. </p>
<p>To expand on number 2: Can I put band related honors in the Honors section or do I have to somehow fit them in the activities section?</p>
<p>To expand on 3: What if I'm independently studying courses this year (completely outside of school)? I'm self studying AP Chem and possibly both AP Econs. Can I write that as a class I'm taking? Like in the form:</p>
<p>AP Chemistry (Independent study)</p>
<p>Thanks for help</p>

It isn't a class, so you can't put it there. You should probably put it in the additional info section in that format (99.9999%, virtually everyone I know that has gone through the process has done this).</p>
<p>Unfortunately...since I'm ignorant about 99.3.1415% of such college topics, this is the only question i can answer at 11pm when I'm bored and have nothing to do but browse through many sections.</p>
