Presenting yourself as a multi-faceted individual
👋 Because the Common App’s activity list only allows for 10 activities, we weren’t able to express all of our interests and involvements. Before we chose which activities to enter, we first brainstormed a laundry list of anything we might have wanted to include in our applications. From there, we decided which ones were the most important, and the rest we added in the additional info section of the Common App. Having a laundry list of yourself as a whole is really helpful because you’d be surprised by what you might initially forget to include!
Examples include:
