What category do I put giving a presentation at a national convention as?

I gave a presentation at a small national convention, but none of the categories for extracurriculars on Collegevine seem to fit for that. What do I put it under? Thanks.

It probably fits most closely under writing, because presentations are kind of, sort of texts if you really bend your mind around it. Be aware of the fact that CollegeVine's categories are pretty arbitrary and their chancing engine is kind of trash anyways (which is the industry standard with these college prep platforms to be frank).

You're far better off looking at the resumes of admitted students, and comparing your standardized scores with published statistics. (LinkedIn is a helpful resource but it does tend to serve you resumes from the upper end of the impressiveness spectrum.)
