<p>After going over my Common app, I realize that I might have put too many weekly hours down for my activities. I have about 42 total hours per week. Obviously there are times when I do a lot one week and then only a little the next. Sometimes I miss a meeting or sport practice, or something is canceled, etc, but I don't want admissions officers to think I'm trying to lie. I was trying to be as honest as possible.
I don't have any <em>outstanding</em> achievements or leadership positions, but I've shown dedication to the activities I've listed (at least 2-10 years devoted to each thing). Also, I have over 600 service hours listed on there. Since middle school, I have been extremely active in my church, youth group, and local community.
Overall, did I list too many hours?</p>
<p>If you were truthful, which it sounds as though you were, I can’t see a reason to believe that you listed too many hours.</p>
<p>Yeah, as long as you tried your best to be honest, don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>When I did it, I sort of averaged weeks of high and low activity. If you did this too, you have a perfectly valid explanation. </p>
