Very Odd Activity

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I have all 10 slots filled for my activities, but there was one activity that I was considering putting in that is very quirky that I don’t have space for. I’m applying to top tier schools (Yale, Stanford, Harvard, etc.).</p>

<p>The quirky activity is a hobby I’ve had for a while: juggling. At one point, I was practicing to attempt a Guinness World Record in juggling, but it didn’t pan out, even though I’d like to pursue it further this year. I spent a summer practicing, and still juggle when I’m bored. I’m self taught. I was hoping this could be a quirky thing that makes an admissions officer remember me.</p>

<p>I would probably be putting it on the Common App in place of a small scholarship I won for 2 speaking competitions. I feel like this accomplishment is fairly insignificant in comparison to other speech accomplishments I have.</p>

<p>Opinions?</p>

<p>Can you combine two of your speech accomplishments into one activity and add juggling in its place?</p>

<p>Ehh not really; my speech and debate activity slot is jam packed. </p>
