<p>That's tough. You could always just put a "mini-resume" in the Additional Information section (or attach it if you're not using the Common App).</p>

<p>Here's what I think (no particular order), and why:</p>

<p>•** Varsity Cross-Country** - varsity, 3 years, awards, etc
•** Varsity Track & Field*- same reasons as XC
•* A Community-Service Club*- leadership, raised $
•* Interact OR School Book Club*- Interact for your community service projects or Book Club for leadership, 3 year commitment
•* National Honors Society*- leadership position, otherwise pretty standard
•* School Ambassador or Cheerleading**- Ambassador if your one of the only ones in your school to get this or Cheerleading because it's varsity and your squad got 1st in state.</p>
