So I just finished my Common App resume, and honestly, organizing my activities made all the difference. I broke them down into categories: leadership, community service, sports, and arts. This way, it didn't just look like a jumbled list.
Also, I made sure to quantify everything. Instead of saying 'participated in club meetings,' I said 'led 5 meetings with 20+ members each.' It really stood out!
If you haven’t done this yet, I highly recommend it. Makes your application look way more professional and clearer.
