<p>I have excellent academic achievements, and spent a lot of time studying. At the same time i volunteered a little in community center, and had an internship in one company. Founded a national wide project. And also got involved in school activity stuff being president or vice president (debate, student council..) + captain of sport team.
HERE IS MY QUESTION: Should i focus more on my ACADEMICS and NATIONAL wide projects, note telling anything about my SCHOOL activities even if they are great? As i heard a lot, 'better go deep not width'. But i am quite deep in all my activities. So i am afraid if it won't hurt being exceptional in some areas, and at the same time president in some school activity, volunteer at same center. So they can think i am not dedicated a lot in some area, and don't have enough passion (but i have), and that's why i am involving my self in different areas. Please help..</p>
Should i say about other extracurricular activities, or will it hurt my application? (For Ivy League
<p>Just put the ones that mean the most to you.</p>
<p>List your top ten activities in order of the ones you like the most. If you are a captain of a varsity sport, make sure to put that in the top line (e.g., Varsity Track, Captain (Sr), Member (Fr/So/Jr). Minor activities that are just more like clubs where you are a member and are fun, put those last or exclude them from the Common App if you have 10 other activities (you can always list them on your resume). </p>
<p>@Momof2back2back @gibby But if i take a leadership position in about 7 activities and got pretty deep in them, should i better mention just 2-3 of them? Or I can take by one from different Sport/Community Service/ Volunteering/Internship/Academic/School/Art?</p>
<p>Breath and depth are both good. What you put down reflects your judgment and your understanding of what they look for. We don’t know your specifics. You can make a list of everything (everything) and see what patterns emerge. Some minor things can be dropped or combined in a category. But yes they will want to see involvement at school, too.</p>
