[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look at the common app. It asks for a max of 10 EC activities and you list which high school years and how much time you spend on the activity per week. You get a short space to list honors and leadership positions. If a school allows a resume attachment (about half the ones my DC is applying to allow that) you might have a little more flexibility in what you highlight. Not sure how much attention is paid to the resume though. By the time DC covered summer programs and internships, as well as 3 varsity sports and a couple of other big ECs that pretty much took all 10 spots. So not much room for pre high school activities anyway if your DC has the normal mix of activities.[/quote] Also you should be advised that it is not necessary to fill all ten slots. The ten slots there are to limit applicants, but in no way should you fill the ten slots with meaningless or stale activities.[/quote]
