A question about Extracurriculars

Applying to College
1

<p>This is pretty straigth forward. I've been giving math regularization lessons 2 times a week to people who need it. I'm getting paid of course. Will big name colleges take this into account at EC's?</p>

<p>Also, I've started a small informal buisness of my own developing software for people who need it, I've invested 80+ hours into it, and have made 500 dollars so far, again, will this count into my favor?</p>

<p>College apps generally have different places for Extracurricular Activity and Work Experience. Since you made money for both of these, it would qualify as Work Experience, not an EC.</p>

<p>Regardless, it could still help your application, especially if you elaborate on it in your essays.</p>

<p>Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.</p>
