Could a online activity be considered as an "extracurricular activity"?

<p>i just read in a newspaper article that some kid in the Bronx put down his time spent playing a video game called City of Heroes. he said he met alot of different ppl and that it allowed him to be known for his personality and all that kinda stuff......hahaha....pretty creative if u ask me and he got accepted to a couple of colleges already but i dont know if the essay was the reason</p>

<p>I wrote my extracurricular essay about an internet software project I whose development I lead...</p>

<p>Got into Cornell...</p>

<p>Thank you all! Another question, can I put an personal activity down, such as "reading novels", "painting" ,"playing *ball"?</p>
