Sketch Categories

[Guest Adamanda]

Hi Everyone

I am confused :rolleyes under what heading should I put First Aid, CPR and Coaching Certifications under....education or awards and accomplishments?

There's probably some good threads that may be helpful if you look through the archives.

 

My take on this is that it's up to you for activities that are ambiguous. I tried to balance the categories out, so that I had a bunch of entries in each category. I doubt that it matters at all - they're not going to accept you or reject you because you classified "First Aid" as an award instead of an accomplishment, or whatever.

Thanks Peachy...I can't wait until the 15th when this application is done and gone

[Guest peachy]

For sure .... good luck!

Hi there,

 

For those of you who wrote winning general sketches last year, under the category, "Research", did you place the title of your research in the space provided and assumed that the reader knew that you researched this, or did you opt to place a verb in front of each activity type (space permitting)? Compare:

 

1) "The role of cat meows in mouse behaviour"

 

vs.

 

2) "I am researching the role of cat meows in mouse behaviour"

 

I'm leaning towards the former, but I'm interested in hearing what our successful predecessors have done.

 

Cheers,

Kirsteen

Hmmm,

 

I'm currently applying as well but all i put was: "Dr. Nick Riviera - Springfield Hospital" Do you think we should actually put the title of the project?

I haven't applied yet, but how about "Researching the role of.." or "Researched the role of..", whichever is more appropriate?

Hi there,

 

Have any of you used the "Other" sketch category for any of your 48 activities? If so, what sorts of activities would fit into "Other" but not "Extracurricular"? Just curious.

 

Cheers,

Hi Kirsteen,

I put that I was selected as a representative for my volunteer organization in "Other".. I also put first aid and CPR, but perhaps that's just padding- undecided about including it |I
