does anyone have any tips on writing an activities resume? Is there anything that should or shouldn't be put on the resume? should honor roll be mentioned?

most colleges won't look at it if it's more than a page long, just so you know

Laundry lists have become less impressive. Focus on 2-4 at most, let anything else be a one-line summary. Imo. Depth and passion win. A litany doesn't impress many people.

My MIT interview is tomorrow and I need to hand in a list of my most recent accomplishments. As of now it is 3/4 of a page. It includes Awards, AP grades, Extracurricular (only the ones I am heavily involved in), work, volunteer work. Is that sufficient? Should I include anything else?

If you are involved in anything that is not well known or recognized, you can explain those activities.

Any music activities/awards Andrea? Brevity is probably appreciated, so I would not worry that it is about a page long.
