<p>Hello all:
This may be a contentious topic, but on the Common App it asks:
"Reporting activities can help a college better understand your life outside of the classroom. Your activities may include arts, athletics, clubs, employment, personal commitments, and other pursuits."
This seems to ask about activities outside of what might be considered "extracurriculars," such as personal interests and pursuits that you are passionate about, but are outside of school or formal clubs, etc.
Am I right in interpreting "activities" in this way?</p>
<p>They mean outside of the classroom – thus school clubs/activities would be fine. You’re over analyzing this.</p>
