<p>they can help, but btw your conferences dont really count as an EC...</p>

3

<p>I don't see why they wouldn't? I traveled to get there during the school year. And it is 3 days long.</p>

4

<p>idk i did a few too, but they arent considered an EC, its a one time deal, idk i asked an admission counselor and she said not really</p>

<p>If you are using the common app, it can (granted I would put it last). Under the EC's for the common app it also includes activities and volunteering.</p>

7

<p>I wouldn't include the conferences as EC's either. </p>

<p>You should make a separate heading for: Employment and Work Experiences. Then include the soccer reffing and summer job under that heading. Work is not considered an EC.</p>

<p>You can also make a separate heading for Leadership: list the conferences here.</p>

<p>Make a heading for: Community Service: list the camp counselor experience here. </p>

<p>COMMUNITY SERVICE: (just an example)
June 2006-Camp Counselor at a one week overnight camp for disadvantaged children.
June 2007-- ""
June 2008-- ""</p>

<p>Oh if this is for a RESUME def make a different section. Otherwise i still think its ok.</p>

<p>Your extracurricular activities are pretty good, and they're solid enough to complement an otherwise excellent application. Unfortunately, I don't know if your GPA and SAT score will be enough for all of your "dream schools."</p>
