<p>How would one cite ECs such as residential educational summer programs, educational trips, significant volunteer projects, etc., that don't really fit into the "hours/week, weeks/year" citation?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>how many weeks did you do it for? hence wks / yr.
total hours divided by number of weeks = hrs / wk.</p>
<p>You could also include that it was a summer activity in the "Additional Information" box</p>
<p>I'm kind of wondering about this too. I went on exchange for a year...so would i put 168 hrs/wk (the number of hrs in a week) 46 wks/year? Or...?</p>
<p>lol...</p>
<p>Exchange isn't an EC. Just write it in additional information or write an essay about it.</p>
<p>Are you sure it's not an EC? It is well...outside of school lol. I was planning on writing an essay about it anyway but...</p>
<p>Exchange can be considered an EC because it is def. important to mention so if you don't write about it then you should mention is somewhere (why not EC box?).</p>
<p>yeah, I kid of thought so... Especially since 2 of my other ECs (sailing and calligraphy) started while i was in Japan...so they might just kind of be like where did those come from otherwise.<br>
Back on topic ---> sailing was like 38 hrs/wk... do you think that they'll think I'm lying or..crazy or something? Is that normal for a sport?</p>
<p>It's very good to have so many hours. It shows real passion for it if you dedicate so many time. And it's no limit how many hours you can spend for a sport. Think about the sportsmen who prepare for the Olympiad, for example. They spend more than 40 hours a week practicing.</p>
