A couple quick questions about EC activities

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<li><p>Does doctor shadowing count as a EC?</p></li>
<li><p>Do CPR and first aid courses count?</p></li>
<li><p>How do colleges confirm that you worked for a certain period of time?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Also, does surfing non-competitively, but very often for 5 years count as an EC?</p>

<p>All of those things count as ECs, the key is to prioritize your activities and report the most significant ones. Colleges don’t confirm employment, it’s the honor system just like many other parts of the application.</p>
