<p>Hello everyone. I apologize in advance for the long post, but I would appreciate any suggestions.</p>
<p>I have a few questions regarding the common app EC activities section. For my awards, I have listed 5 awards, all related to math/science, particularly to the research I've been working on at a nearby university. I also use the common app EC essay to talk about my university research.</p>
<p>This in mind, would you still advise me to list research at the university as my 1st (most important) EC activity in the activity section with the limit of 10 activities even though I've already talked about it in my essays/awards? My first few activities are all math/science related, so will that be looked at unfavorably?</p>
<p>Also, do you have any general tips on formatting the descriptions of the ECs on the common app? I know the space is really limited, so should we focus the description on our responsibilities in the club/activity? How can we show dedication to the activity in the space that we have?</p>
<p>On a side note, I plan on using the additional information section to add additional scores, additional honors, and additional ECs. Should I be listing ALL the honors/ECs I've done, or just the ones I feel most important?</p>
