I just wanted to ask about the activities section of the NCM. Apparently I’ve heard that it’s like a bulleted list format, and you can list a maximum of 5 extracurriculars. Is there a word count for each entry? I know after that there’s a 400 word prompt asking for which commitment was the most meaningful to us. And is there a separate section for home responsibilities? or is that part of additional information? Is that also a bulleted list? I just need the word count for each entry. any extra info would also be very helpful.

So I filled up the summer programs form for this one specific virtual program.

Washington University in St. Louis, Exploration Course in Introduction to Environmental Science 

June 15 - July 19, 2026, Virtual

Students will be introduced to the fields (from biology to economics) used in understanding the workings of the natural world and human interactions with our environment. Course topics include: human population growth, energy resources, land and food resources, water resources, air pollution, global climate change, and human health and toxicology, as well as a review of ecology and species diversity.

I just wanted to know if anyone happened to get a letter for it or how competitive it is to get into generally.
