What Order Are Applications Read In?

[DaVinci7799]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what order college applications get read in? I want to mention an extracurricular in my CommonApp essay, but am not sure if I should explain it since I already described it in the activities section and in the additional information section as well…

Applications are read in whatever order the reader desires. Could you just give a tiny explanation of your extracurricular in the essay like this:

Once while I was parkouring on the school gym–running up the side of the building like a superhero–my left foot caught on a cornice and my shoe fell off and fluttered 30 feet down to the mud below.

This is like asking in what order everyone eats the food on their plate.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the help!
