<p>I plan to write my short essay for the common app on being editor in chief of the school newspaper (journalism). But does this count as an extracurricular because it is a class yet I have to spend time after school working on it and its considered a club at my school; kind of like yearbook! What do you guys think?</p>
<p>If it’s an actual class, say it is so on your essay. But since you go afterschool, mention that too.</p>
<p>So you think I can use it? Any one else doing something like this? I have other stuff I can talk about but this is def the most important to me and I feel like it is an extracurricular!</p>
<p>I think you can include it as an EC - that’s what my friend did because she decided it took time in and out of the actual class and it was something she was choosing to devote time to. Kind of like at our school how student council is a class (you still have to be elected of course), but everyone counts it as an EC too. :)</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!!I feel way more reassured now! :)</p>
