Not sure how many activities to include or how to describe them in your college apps? Our Moon Prep counselors break it all down:

✅ How many can you list?

  • Common App: Up to 10 activities (150 characters each)
  • Coalition/Scoir: Up to 8 (253 characters each)
  • UC Application: Up to 20 (includes honors/awards, 350 characters each)

✅ What counts as an activity?

  • Clubs, volunteering, shadowing, research, work experience, hobbies, family responsibilities — basically anything meaningful you’ve done outside the classroom.

📌 Order of activities?

  • Mix importance + time commitment. It’s personal — do what tells your story best.

⚠️ Can you lie? Nope. It’s not worth the risk. Be honest and realistic with your hours and experiences.
