Scoring high on the activities section?

[2010hope]

Hey, I'm an OOP applicant, last year when I applied I was rejected without an interview. I was told that my activities were rated 5/20 whereas the avg for OOP activities was a mark of 12/20.

 

I'm confused as how to improve my application, considering I was interviewed at McGill where I submitted a CV that had the same activities listed!

 

Any tips for filling out the Alberta application? eg. if it says list no more than three areas where you demonstrated volunteer work.. would it be better to list and describe 3 areas in a few sentences each OR list 1 activity and use the room to describe it in more depth?

 

Also, for Alberta do we need verifiers for each activity? If so, where do we put that information?

It could be because of the way that you present your information to the person reading it. Rather than listing that information, talk about why it is important to you and why it makes a better candidate than if you didn't have this activity.
