Too much EC?

Is it possible to have "too much" EC for your application? I mean, should I put down every single little thing I've done bit by bit or should I choose, say like 5, the most important things and leave it at it.

Thanks in advance.

I mean not really. It looks good but I think after a certain number of shadowing hours adcoms might be like...so do you actually have a life? They do like well-rounded individuals as well....

Also put the EC's that not only are most important but ones that you could best and easily explain with a passion and compellingly when being interviewed.

Only put the ones that you have been seriously devoted to and have a serious passion for. I'm sure you can't have "too many." So don't limit yourself. If you have a lot to choose from, pick the ones that you consider to be most representative of your time in college. And also don't feel like you have to have a certain "number" of ECs. Again, as long as you put down a list of experiences that you consider valuable, it doesn't matter if you don't fill the 10 slots on the app.
