Are you writing a bullet point resume for your college application? If you are, let me tell you right now, that is not the way to do it. You need to write a chronological essay , that means newest at the top, oldest at the bottom, with specific reference to your extra curricular and volunteer activities.

While you have much experience to speak of, the reviewer will be interested only in the most important or impressive activities you participated in. So, you should review your list and consider which ones you think would best represent you best as a team member or leader. I can't choose that for you because I am not really familiar with the participation that you had. Make your shortlist first and then work on the draft of the essay presentation.

I would suggest that you choose the 3 most important activities. That is because the introduction should give an overview of how you chose these activities and what your character traits are that helped you enjoy the activities. The closing statement should indicate an interest in continuing the said activities while attending the university.

Thanks for your interest in assisting me in this essay. But the question says atleast 5 extracurricular or volunteer activities. That was why i listed five with dates.

It states i should include the start and end dates.

So how do i go about this now?

It isn't hard to fix. Since you are responding to a prompt provided by the university, the correct format for it should be an informative essay. Don't confuse yourself or panic. An informative essay is just what you currently have in bullet form, written in essay form. So you will create a long form of the bullet points to respond to the essay.

Since there is a 5 activity requirement, then go ahead and provide that. I apologize for my mistaken advice earlier as you didn't specify that the university had a number requirement for the essay. Remember to present the essay in chronological order. That means mention your latest participation first, working your way to the oldest or first participation that you have. Just expand all the descriptions in order to help create a more solid explanation of your participation in the activities. Most of the previous instruction I provided still applies.
