I think you should just put what you think your most significant achievements have been.

For Sen. Specter, all they wanted was a letter of interest for me that basically detailed why I wanted to be a page and included all my necessary stats. I also had to include a transcript of my grades.

But as far as I know, each Senator’s office does things differently, so that’s why you have to write a list of your activities. As another tip, you don’t necessarily have to be sponsored by a senator from your own state. So if they tell you that Durbin/Obama don’t have pages (Obama may/may not since he’s junior…but it’s odd, because Casey had a page this summer), you can ask their respective offices to ask other senators for you. One person in my group got this done for them and was sponsored by a senator outside their state. Basically, if you can use any possible connections/tips, take advantage of them. I’m still at a loss as to how I got in with NO connections of any kind, but I’m enormously grateful.
