Hi, under extracurricular / volunteer / community service, I'm having a hard time deciding what to put on the cover sheet.

My top 3 in terms of time committed would be:
Half-marathon competitive runner
Illini Rowing Team
Illini Tae Kwon Do

My top 3 relevance would be:
Smile Healthy (a dental club)
American Chemical Society
Undergraduate Psychology Association

My top 3 leadership roles would be:
Illini Tae Kwon Do
Undergraduate Psychology Association
American Chemical Society or Smile Healthy

My top 3 that means the most to me would be:
Illini Rowing Team
Undergraduate Psychology Association
Half-marathon competitive runner

Can someone shed some advice on how to go about this?
 
I would definitely put the rowing team as one of them as you seem passionate about it and it's a good different, stand out activity. Then I'd say the Psych Association as that comes up a lot in your lists. Then I'd say it's a toss up between Smile Healthy and Tae Kwon Do, I would probably lean Smile Healthy as it's dental related, but either would be good. They'll see all of them in the end, so it's not a huge issue which you put.
 
I would put the tae kwon do over the dental club. How many people have some sort of pre-dental club? Lots. How many do tae kwon do? Think about it!
