On the other hand, in their Common Data Set, they say religious affiliation is "not considered."
With that in mind: my son has been a longtime member of the youth group at our Catholic church. He is an involved member (weekly meetings, frequent volunteer projects). The group does not have officers or awards or anything. He has never been an altar server.
Would you use one of the six activity slots to mention this? He has other activities that are far more impressive. (E.g., on the Common App activities list, he's not mentioning this for schools that aren't Catholic.)
Thank you.
They take more because proportionately, more apply.
