I was looking through the common app, and the 150 character limit on activities seems pretty short. There’s also only room for 5 awards. I was a significant circuit debater in public forum and won a lot of national awards I won’t have room for on the common app, ex: quarterfinals (top 8) at Harvard, Berkeley, Emory, each of which had 200+ nationally diverse competitors and I feel like are significant enough to include.
Should I add these additional awards and attach a resume to my common app, or will it be frowned upon? (I’ll limit it to maybe 1000 additional characters.)
Here’s my college list for reference:
UT Austin
A&M
GWU
Wake Forest
Emory
USC
Georgetown
UMich
UPenn
UChicago
Brown
Yale
Thanks in advance :p
Of course, you should submit an additional resume if it makes sense for you to do so.
