Activities on my Common App resume: What should I include?

Personal brandCommon Appresumeactivitiescollege admissions

Hey everyone! I remember sitting in front of my laptop last summer, totally overwhelmed while filling out my Common App. One of the toughest parts was figuring out what activities to showcase on my resume. I wanted to look impressive without sounding fake; it felt like walking a tightrope!

So, I'd love to hear from you guys: what activities did you include in your Common App resume? And how did you decide what to highlight? I’ve got a few clubs and volunteering experiences but I'm nervous that I won't come across as qualified enough.

Also, if you found any tips on making your resume stand out while keeping it genuine, please share! I know a lot of us are in the same boat, and your advice could really help us all get through this.
