Hi All,
I am in the middle of applying to several colleges through the Common Application. When I go to the section about activities, I stumbled across an issue. One really great thing that I am doing right now is I am currently taking classes my EMT Certification. I think this is a great activity that I do and it would help me stand out on some applications. However, I get my official EMT certification in the middle of April (just after I would hear about most decisions), so I didn’t know if EMT is something I can put on my application for colleges. On one hand, I am going to have my certifcation by the time I enter college, so I wouldn’t be lying. On the other, I technically am not an EMT right now.
I guess my question is that am I allowed to put something on my common app activities section for something I am undoubtedly going to do, even if in the current moment I do not technically have it? (Obviously in my case I am referring to EMT but just as a whole I am wondering. Thanks!
