Extra Curriculars Question: Is this too much?

Prep School Admissions

<p>Okay, so I’m incredibly passionate about this specific club at my school. I really love it, even though I’ve been a member for only a year!(Age requirement). </p>

<p>So naturally I’m mentioning it as one of my most passionate activities! I’m debating on if I should put a link to a video of us raising money at a football game. We raised nearly 300$ and you see my face one or two times. IT is barely 3 minutes in length and it looks professional.
Is this too much? I really think that it will be a hook. We have a school “profile” that has how much money we have raised and my name as a member. I’m thinking about putting that also… We raised almost 5,000$ in 3 months. </p>

<p>Is that too much? The video is a specific example of what type of service I am involved in. The website shows the progress… I’m putting the links on my extra piece of paper where I am elaborating on what I am involved in.</p>

<p>Thanks =)</p>

<p>Do it mate.</p>

<p>habitat for humanity? awww i wanna do that. damn it there’s a age requirement</p>

<p>humane society bumped their age limit from 16 to 18. so upset cause im a vegetarian, i wanna help. hate my age :frowning: lol</p>

<p>Since you are considering sending something that needs to be viewed online, you might want to consider sending an email with links embedded to your contact people. I know that if I got a piece of paper and had to type in a web address, I probably wouldn’t do it. BUT, if I got an email where all I had to do was click (especially if I knew it was only 3 minutes long) I would be MUCH more likely to take a look.</p>

<p>Ooh! That’s a great extracurricular! We’re raising money to build a well for a school in Africa! It’s harder though because we’re a middle school… :frowning: What is the money that you help raise going towards?</p>

<p>agreed with buritto. email it to them</p>

<p>I’ll email it… It isn’t habitat for humanity. That is 18+ and it is during weekdays most of the time. HH is huge in my city, we have the 3rd biggest volunteer base I believe(We got a chapel talk about it once). </p>

<p>This is something for rebuilding schools in Northern Uganda. I was going to be a club leader, but I couldn’t because I’m a newspaper writer(They meet too many times a week for being a head honcho of both).</p>

<p>Can’t you just download the video from the website and burn it onto a disc or something? All the adcoms I talk to said they would appreciate it very much if we could do that (as I was sending them some sort of video too!). And yes, attach a separate sheet elaborating on the activity as well as stating the link to the website too, at least that’s what I did on my application (I needed to send them the links to the sites of the volunteer groups I work for just like you). </p>

<p>Maybe you would also want to shoot an email to the adcom at the schools you’re applying too and see what they prefer! Best of luck!</p>

<p>email it. put ur reference code on the email stating you’re a prospective applicant and if you could take a moment of their time</p>

11

<p>I’m sending them in an email, because the site is being updated up until January 20th with our totals and I would rather have them look at the link.</p>

<p>Habitat is 16 at my school…</p>

<p>Quoted from the site:
“Is there an age limit for Habitat for Humanity AmeriCorps participants?
The minimum age requirement is 18; but no maximum age limit exists.”</p>

<p>Alright well at my school 10th graders do habitat…O well. I don’t think there should be 18 year old limit on helping people build houses. There not exactly sending off the helpers.</p>
