Can You Combine 2 Sports Into One Activities Slot?

I was wondering if you were able to combine 2 sports into one activity slot on the Common App. I'm currently at the max activities, but I want to squeeze in one more extracurricular by combing Tennis and Track into one activity slot.

Hi @elvxn!

The dropdown menu on the Common App won't allow you to choose both Tennis and Track. Additionally, the character limit isn't really good enough to describe 2 activities (properly) at once. I suggest you review your activity list to see whether there's an activity you find less important or have spent less time on and replace that. If that's not possible, there's a 650-word additional info section that you can use.

Hope this helps!
