Warning
For those who don't like to do a lot of tedious busy work, don't apply to Stanford. Stanford REQUIRES students to complete the Common App's "Courses & Grades" page, though, if what you entered does not exactly match what is on your transcript(s), that is okay. Stanford will still review your official transcript(s). With that said, try your best to complete the "Courses & Grades" page on the Common App to the best of your ability before submitting your Common App to Stanford.
Good luck getting into Stanford!

So for the resume, does it include the 10 activities that you already entered under activity section or only the “additional” ones. If latter I would assume the most important 10 still go into the activities section correct?

Both you can have in your resume

It's up to you, but likely some combination of both if you have more to say about some or all of your top activities and have more than ten total activities. Good luck.

It was good for me that applicants to graduate programs at Stanford did not request a high school transcript. I would have been voted most likely to skip shop class. I made up for lost time in college and on the GRE. I was accepted at Brown and Stanford. I earned a master’s degree in Political Science at Stanford in 1981.
