So Overwhelmed...Help

<p>Really getting nervous about my lack of understanding for the common app in general, and especially how to list activities. If any of these questions could be clarified that'd be great. Thanks-</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you do not self-report scores, then is that a way to avoid sending all scores to schools that don't require that? </p></li>
<li><p>I have more than 10 key ECs... do I list them in additional info. section? How should I list them? Do I include all stats that the activities section does (i.e. hours/week; weeks/year; etc.) ? Or am I suppose to just pick 10 best?</p></li>
<li><p>For position/leadership... what do you put if you weren't a leader in the activity? I was putting the name of the club there because "community service (volunteer)" is too broad. Is this correct? If not, how do you define the club?</p></li>
<li><p>What have people been putting for "details, honors, accomplishments" section other than just a short explanation of the club?</p></li>
<li><p>For "Honors" section, do certifications count? (Should I include that I have an archaeology course certification and coaching course certification there?)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Edit- 6. Somewhere else on here someone asked if for the "details, honors, accomplishments" box under activities, if it would cut off more than 50 characters even though the box allows more. Any answer to this?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help you can give!</p>

<ol>
<li>Yeah.</li>
<li>Just pick the 10 best, or even less than that. College admissions people have a lot to read, and when you place 10 you don’t seem as focused and they won’t think you put enough effort into each individually.</li>
<li>Just don’t add anything. They will assume you’re not leader (which you aren’t).</li>
<li>Just a short explanation is fine.</li>
<li>No, those don’t count.</li>
</ol>

<p>@ironfist thank you for answering! but how did you indicate the name of the club then?</p>
