The activity list

Applying to College
1

Couple questions on the activity list I’m attaching to my apps:

Is it better to organize by subject (as in…Music, Sports, etc) or by category (Employment/Internship, Nonacademic Extracurriculars, Community Service)? Is it better to organize by order of importance, or in roughly chronological order?
Lastly, the descriptions…is a full-blown paragraph OK, or are they only meant to be around 2-3 sentences long?

Thanks for your (hopefully) soon-to-be help.

<p>I also want to know how to do this!</p>

<p>Organize it by category because if you do it by subject, it might make you appear less focused.</p>

<p>Very short descriptions. Adcoms have a limited amount of time to review your application. Saying too much means you don't really understand what the most critical information is.</p>

<p>Organize your subjects/categories in order of importance. Within those groupings, reverse chronological order.</p>
