I have a really big extracurricular that I'd like to highlight on my app. But I'm finding that difficult:
I've been learning a classical Indian dance form for about 10 years. This year I gave a solo performance that was a really big deal--like 200 people came and it was about 2 hours long. A lot of practice went into it. My whole summer before this year was spent practicing, which is why I didn't do any internships or summer programs then. How do I show my accomplishments on a college app? It doesn't capture the magnitude of it to say "Dance lessons for 10 years, performed." Can I send in photos or an explanation? Or do I just have to write an essay about it? It's the one thing that can set me apart, and it's my only major art accomplishment.

Should I send in pictures of me having meetings with P&G and Mcdonalds executives? Like when were posing and doing the "west-side sign" and crip-walk dancing. lol. Anyways Im definitely gonna write about my hook all the way. I wonder if it's a good strategy to apply to other Ivy-league schools (as an international) just to make sure Harvard nows they aint your only choice?
