Two Questions?

1) In part 1 of app, there's a section called "preliminary question" but when I click on it, it just tells me that I HAVE to answer the question. Unfortunately, the question is nowhere to be found. What is going on?

2) When it asks me to list extracurriculars in order of preference from the list, what are they looking for? I mean a lot of items on the list interest me. For example, I do a lot of community service because I'm passionate about helping others, but that's already well reflected in my application--would they rather have me put "outdoor adventures" or things I do to relax, etc?

^Only a fool would expect to be admitted to such a great school.
Besides, if you don't have anything helpful to say, then please don't.

Chill. Go over it with your school counselor. I sense some disconnect with the terminology. They will be able to help you through the process and also advise you if it is a good choice based on your scores and your extracurriculars. If you are not sure what they are and you don't have a long list of them it may be too late to get them now...
