Applying to College
1

Hi,

Little background: I’m an international student applying to top US schools his year.

I have a couple of questions:

1- Should I mention taking online course in my application? If so, should it be under additional information? What about the courses I will be taking after submitting my application?

2- Should I mention translating about 15 Wikipedia articles to my language in my application? (one of my teachers probably mentioned it in his recommendation letter)

Yes to all of the above, especially if they pertain to your future area of study. It shows initiative. If the Wiki articles pertained to some topic you are especially interested in, mention it as well - it’s an EC - especially since you can’t be sure that the teachers have mentioned it.
