I’m having trouble deciding which activities I should put on my Common App. I had a lot of activities in High School; I only have three in college because it’s only been one semester (Freshman). I’m also not sure if I should attach a resume or not. For the hours and weeks, I input them as they would be the end of my spring semester; is that what most people do? The school is UNC if that’s important, thanks
