<p>What do we have to fill in the field asking for hours spent for a particular Extracurricular. For Example I had a research paper on which i worked for about a year and then presented it at a week long event in JAPAN. SO do i write 1 week as time spent or 1 year as time spent.Please help.</p>
<p>You would mention the year which is 56 weeks and then try to break into number of hours/week spent on that research paper in that year.</p>
<p>Mention the week long presentation in the comments part, that is my understanding.</p>
<p>Thanks.I have one more doubt;since common app allows us to list only 10 EC’s what EC’s should one highlight.Ones of national and international value or should they be inclusive of Clubs and Volunteer Work. Is sending a resume ideal ?</p>
<p>I think you need to balance this one out in terms of</p>
<p>Activities that highlight your special or unique skills, growth as a person, learning</p>
<p>Activities related to the program you are applying to</p>
<p>And those where you you can show your involvement/participation in the community</p>
<p>More than that please remember a few but consistent and meaningful activities that are aimed at personal growth, that have challenged you, made a difference in your and other people’s lives, are better than filling X number of ECs.</p>
