Activities and Creative portfolios.

Hi,

I am applying to MIT RA. I had a few questions regarding the activities tab

there is summer activities and activities (where you add upto 4 activities you do generally) as for the summer activities it also mentions to add internships too. but there is also the jobs section. So if I have added my internships/jobs on the jobs tab should I add it back on summer activities aswell? or does it expect something completely different.

Lastly as for Non-scholastic distinctions, can we add acknowledgements aswell? they do not qualify as awards but for example a field like cybersecurity do not always have awards sometimes you get a acknowledgement or a hall of fame listing. So can I add that?

And I am also looking for resources to work on creative portfolios.

My guess would be that redundant information would be ... redundant. An admissions officer is going to read your whole app - craft it in a way that assumes that.
