Hi there @blueROOK,

If your discord is an admissions-appropriate topic, you should definitely include it on your Activities list. I would specify your role on the server, a brief description of the topic/usage of this server, and any specific metrics around engagement that would speak to the achievement.

Hope this helps!

That depends on what it's for... they will want to look at it potentially so if it's not appropriate, don't add it. If it's for a charity, or a support group, etc, then yes by all means add it.

Hi,

As previous people have explained anything you link to your common app could be reviewed by the admissions committee therefore you have to make sure it is appropriate. Additionally you might want to consider what you have learnt from it or think about why you made it in the first place. Does it show any skills that your future career might demand ? If so keep it! If not co wider revising your CV.

Hope that helps.
