So in regards to the question that asks us to list our most significant activities and rank them in order of importance; are we really expected to not list all our activities? I mean, every activity I have participated in I have found meaningful in some way, but the problem is that I have listed ~9 activities. Would this be a problem?

I took this question to mean "don't simply restate all the activites on your AMCAS" They have your AMCAS, so if that's all they wanted then they wouldn't ask this question. So you have 9 AMCAS activities, try to cut at least three out. You can include the honors and awards that you have on amcas in the next section too. I had 15 ECs on AMCAS and of those one was a big "honors and awards" EC. So for the Yale secondary I ranked 8 activities and then put the awards/honors in teh next section. So basically I cut out 6 things. It doesn't mean they aren't important, but something has to go I think.
 
Nope. Nobody applied to Yale this year. man is there going to be egg on their faces!:laugh:
