<p>For the activities portion on commonapp, it tells you to list "Position Held, Honors Won, Letters Earned, or Employer" and then check off the list...
If I'm Vice President for S&D in 12th grade (now) but member from 9th grade... would I check off 9,10,11,12 and state "Member; Vice President" or would I just say "Vice President" and check off some? idk... please help!!!</p>
<p>I interpret the part where you check off which years you were involved as asking about general involvement with the organization, rather than how long you held the position. Check off all the years you were involved and then just put the years you were VP in parentheses after you say you were VP.</p>
<p>Thanks!!
I have another question for anyone who can help.
I created/started a newspaper club and am trying to word it on commonapp but it’s hard… how can I word it efficiently yet succintly so that I show colleges that I really spent a long time starting the club, editing all of the works, organizing it, leading , etc. ?</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>You can put that in the additional information section. Or… if it is really important to you, use it for your short essay topic. 
Hours per week should also help show that this was a time-intensive activity for you.</p>
<p>yeah. hours per week is what you want.</p>
<p>For the Common app activity section, do you just put in the position held on the one line and then in the details put the name of the club. Do you describe what you did in the club as well or just have that in resume?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you can fit what you did in the club, put it in the activities section. If you can’t, save it for your resume. I’d put just the position and then include the name of the club and a brief explanation in the details section. Getting across the information with such limited space will probably take a few attempts.</p>
