i second bingo. i was accepted to yale this past year and, while i have certainly been involved in activities both in- and outside of school, my resume was no longer than half a page. i think the difference was that i really played up my commitment to the things i have done–ice skating, for instance (which i’ve been doing regularly since i was 5), and coaching soccer. a huge part of what adcoms are trying to do with each application is get a sense of the person behind it, so do your best to show them what’s important to you! think about how many apps they have to read; they probably can’t spend more than 15-20 minutes on each one. help them out by just telling them the important things, rather than making them figure it out themselves.
