DoktaEvergreen Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 did you completely fill out your non academic section like max out each section? I currently have everything but 1 missing from volunteering, im wondering whether i should switch some activities around (a good 3-4 volunteer work is under other sections like leadership, so forth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocular Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Naw- I used up all five for awards, volunteering, and diversity of experience, but I only had 3 for leadership and 2 for employment. Like you, my leadership and volunteering overlapped- I chose to fill up my volunteering section, because then I could build up my reported volunteering hours. Remember, only 1 entry is required for each section, even though 5 slots are available. I, don't know if this is the case for you, but resist the temptation to report activities just to fill up all 25 slots. It's important to report your best qualities/skills/experiences- a fluff activity could actually hurt your application's chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you definitely shouldn't be repeating activities in 2 sections? and just wondering, what would fall under "diversity of experience"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messi1 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 How much extracurriculars is needed? Is it enough if you have like one for each section? Cause the only thing I have more than one is for diversity of experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
