Hey everyone! I was totally confused about how to showcase my activities on the Common App resume. What helped me was breaking them down into categories. Start with leadership positions, then community service, and finally extracurriculars. Highlight your impact rather than just listing duties. For instance, instead of saying 'member of the debate team', I wrote 'led my team to regionals'. It made a huge difference!

Also, make sure to quantify your achievements when possible. Numbers really stand out. Anyone else have tips or strategies that worked for them?
