It is a word picture, in abbreviated form, of you and what you have accomplished already.  \nThe activity list allows you to demonstrate to colleges what you are passionate about and what you will bring to their campus. You will most likely copy and paste this information into online college applications. However, it can be used when there isn’t enough space on a college application or when you are applying for college scholarships. It is also helpful to give your counselor a copy of your activity list.  \nGETTING STARTED  \nStart by taking stock of you. Make a list of your educational history, your work experiences, your activities and accomplishments, and your skills. Get one of your parents or a good friend to help you if you can’t seem to come up with things. The next step is to reorganize the information you’ve gathered and reduce it to a one-page document (two at the very most) .  \nIMPORTANT TIPS:  \n List your most important and impressive facts and activities first.  \n Highlight specific and relevant details about your activities  \n Be sure to describe your roles and accomplishments with strong action words and key terms that will pop out, usually ones that signify leadership and team roles you've had. These include words such as: team work/player, multi-tasking, executed, organized, maintained, supervised, managed, directed, developed, implemented, counseled, assisted, starred, volunteered, led, participated, completed, encouraged, acted, played, wrote, and performed.  \n Value white space! Your activity list should be clear, concise and easy to follow.  \n Be honest. Admission officers know the difference between accurate information and padding.  \n The wording of your activity list is just as important as the look. You may have to write several rough drafts to come up with one that will really shine. Here are a few writing style rules to keep in mind: use matching verb tenses; keep all descriptions short; descriptions should generally take up no more than three to four lines on the page; and full sentences are not necessary, but be consistent with punctuation.  \nSTUDENT ACTIVITY LIST  \nWORKSHEET  \nSTUDENT NAME:    \nADVISOR:    \nACADEMIC HONORS  \nList below your academic honors, awards, or outstanding achievements beginning with 9th grade.  \n________________________________________________________________________  \n________________________________________________________________________  \nWORK EXPERIENCE  \nList any jobs or internships you have held during high school, the date of employment, and the number of hours you work(ed) each week.  \n________________________________________________________________________  \n________________________________________________________________________  \nSUMMER ACTIVITIES  \nList summer activities such as educational travel, summer coursework, skill development (sports, music, and any other), extra books read, and the like.  \n________________________________________________________________________  \n________________________________________________________________________  \nACTIVITIES (sports, clubs, honor societies, performances, and so on)  \nList below any extracurricular activities, community service and family responsibilities in which you have participated.
