What do I do?
I am applying for a very selective award that asks for "Please briefly list your most important extracurricular commitments and provide details of any leadership positions you have held." How should I list these? Should I essentially use the 150 character limit to detail these?

Think of filling this out like you would the Common App. Put the most important stuff (leadership positions, national awards and etc) up first then more foddery stuff (like competitions where you barely made it past county/ state) and school-level awards. Come out with the impressive stuff first, so that if they are just skimming the thing, they still see the breadth and involvement in activities.

Ah sorry I meant the commonapp 150 character limit per EC but this award has no relation to commonapp.
