<p>oh and I was wondering, I filled out the activities section of the application with a list of activities while summarizing them in a phrase what I did, for ex I wrote:</p>

<p>For activities:
Girl Scouts; Alternate Delegate to Girl Scout Council (11, 12), Represented teen opinion at local council meetings; (9, 10, 11, 12); (3-10)/40</p>

<p>I was worried about making it too long at first because it flowed over a page and so I condensed it to fit on a page to make sure nothing was cut off… but
I have a resume I wrote for Northwestern and Brown, should I submit it? By email/ hardcopy? Or do you think what I have is enough already…?</p>

<p>You’ve got enough already. EC’s are highly overrated. I did like four or five things in high school and I’m an Echols Scholar!</p>
