Common App Activities Section
Should I use all 10 of the Slot on the Common App Activties Section? I have like 4 activities that are high commitments, 3 that are medium commitments and 2 that are low commitments. Should I still bother to put my low-commitment activities on there?

Yes! I would say list all of the activities that you currently have to make sure to fill as many slots as possible. It is recommended to have about 3-4 impressive activities (Tier 1 or Tier 2), and the rest, even if not too impressive, would still make an impact to show that you have taken initiative to try out some things or show more of your interests/personality. Make sure to have at least 7-8 slots filled out for a solid resume. Don't let any of the time that you have spent, however less it may be, on these activities go to waste. Try to incorporate them into your narrative as well as you can! I hope that helped, and Good Luck!
