Okay, “Primary activities that applicants listed as either activity 1 or activity 2. Categories for activities can vary year to year.”

My question isn’t a critique of your valid point(s) about the impact. Rather asking for clarification. Kids are kids and do not always list ECs in a way that makes sense to adults reading the instructions. In general, while something silly up top (or sometimes, included at all,) can make one question thinking, there are a variety of solid, relevant ECs that can go up top without the reader making more of it than choice. Not necessarily the true “primary.” Many kids list what they feel is most impressive to the college first.

IOW, to assume 1 and 2 are truly the very most important to a kid is iffy. Or that they are te most potentially impactful to the college decisions.
