Common App Activities Question

Applying to College
1

Hello,
Some of you have probably noticed that I have been a lot more active recently. With Nov 1st less than a week away, my soul is slowly collapsing on itself because of paranoia.
But on an unrelated note, I have another question. I have (had would be far more accurate) all my essays done, but I just need to bust out the actual questionnaire. For the Activities section in the common app, can I put the number of hours and weeks that are expected by the time I graduate or should I stick to only the number of hours I have already done?
This could go either way because I have a really nice board position within an big project in NHS (I put this as a separate activity since it is so different from just the general NHS things-like tutoring) and joined an cool engineering college outreach club at my high school. I have probably less than 5 hours so far between those activities since they only started very recently. Should I only put the 5 hours (2.5 hours for 2 weeks each) or can I put how many hours I am expecting (2.5 hours for 25 weeks each)? Obviously, there is a huge difference in the total number of hours.

Thank you so much, fellow humans!!

Here is a turtle to show my appreciation.

I think you should be predictive - it does say weeks per year.

Yes put what you expect to have done by the end of senior year. It’s honest; it’s not like you’re putting down something like a major award you’re expecting to win!

Yeah, but in the end, colleges really aren’ t counting. 50 or 100 or 200 – it’s not going to affect much at all.

Ok. Seems like everyone is in favor of putting the expected hours. Thanks guys!!!
