Idk11: I actually am in the same situation as you. Unpaid internships must be counted as ACTIVITES, while paid is WORK EXPERIENCE. 100% sure.
And sashimi, this answers your question.

What if I have a paying job (taxes and everything) that is strictly related to my career path? Would it be more wise to enter it as an EC rather than work experience?

No, a job is a job. It's good that it's related to a potential career path, though.

I plan on appying to a few colleges with the CommonApp, but I have a question. I want to apply to the New York City(Manhattan) campus of Fordham and Pace, but the locations listed are the Bronx and Pleasantville. How would I specify which campus I'm applying to?

When the common app asks for the current year courses, is the app asking for senior year courses or junior year courses?

I want to send a sample of my writing (a 2-page commentary over a poem and maybe an essay over two novels). Would I upload it under the "Additional Information" box?

^Many adcoms do not like reading extra writing samples (it's generally discouraged, as they can get a decent idea of your writing from your essays), but I would think that if you would really like to submit them you might do it as a supplement instead. Someone back me up on this?

Do book awards and similar awards count as regional or school awards (e.g. Renssaeler Medal, Princeton Book Award, Williams Book Award)?

I was wondering the same thing. What about a digital design award from a local newspaper?

I would say that definitely qualifies as regional.
Anyone know the answer to the book award question?

Are there only spaces for seven activities...or did we mess up and save too soon? Now if my son tries to add another activity, it says he has to do it in the supplement....

Wigwam: My writing score on the ACT wasn't too great (I got an 8). Do you think that adcoms would overlook this if my personal essay was really good?
