<p>I have done a lot of volunteering (hospital volunteering, tutoring low-income students, food bank, volunteer for special needs olympics etc.). I'm also a president/secretary of four clubs in my school. Where do I add all that information? Common App shows only 10 activities and five honors. How do I put all of them in?</p>
<p>Fill in your top nine activities. On your tenth, say “MISC Voluntarism,9-12: XXX hours” and roll up your remaining hours into this line. </p>
<p>The details of “food bank” or “spec olympics” are not needed.</p>
<p>Which order should I put them in. I have some good positions in my school club and I also did science research internship for the last two summers. Were do I put in the internships?</p>
<p>Should I add the volunteering activities first or the School club activities first?</p>
<p>You can group things. If you have one area with a lot of activity (say, Music), you can put in an activity that says: Music, then put See Additional Information in the description. Then in additional information, you put a header for “Music Extra Curricular”, and bullet out your activities and accomplishments underneath. You could do this with your volunteer activities as one item, too, and list out the specifics in bullets in additional information under “Volunteer Detail” or something like that. I do think you SHOULD list them – if volunteering is really important to you, then show what you have done, not just the total hours. Otherwise it is just an accounting exercise. Showing where you have volunteered gives some texture to your application. </p>
<p>Regarding the order, put the items that are most important to your narrative/story you are weaving for admissions first. What are you most interested in/most passionate about? What might pertain to your course of study? </p>
