<p>(I'm practically begging for it, hahaha.)</p>
<p>Okay, I'm about to ask this.</p>
<p>I play internet role play games (RPG) Harry Potter, to be exact. I'm not overly passionate about it, but I create sites, administrate, create characters, and role play. Ought I include this on my extended resume? Opine honestly, please.</p>
<p>Are you applying for admission to Hogwarts?</p>
<p>(sorry, I couldn’t resist)</p>
<p>Possibly only for the University of Chicago. Although if you have administrative duties, it couldn’t hurt to mention it… if it’s significant enough to write an essay about. I mean, I MUD, but I didn’t add it to the application - a hobby has to go a long way before it gets attached to your resume.</p>
<p>Are you talking about being just a video game player or do you manage an RPG site or something? If it’s just video game playing I wouldn’t mention it.</p>
<p>I would say no.</p>
<p>A HP-tangent RP site is my prime extracurricular activity, actually, and from the amount of time and effort I’ve put into it over the past few years, there’s no way I WOULDN’T be including it at this point.</p>
<p>So go for it! However, if you do put it on your activity list, make sure that you write about it somewhere–Additional Information, one of the essays–and explain your responsibilities, what it is, etc.</p>
<p>=)</p>
<p>Have any of the sites you’ve created become very popular? If so, I think you should go for it. (For example, for the people who created muggle.net, which is very famous and was even recognized by J.K. Rowling, that is something that could go on an application.) However, if they’re just obscure little sites that are a dime a dozen, I think you would come across as sounding kind of desperate to get that to pass for an EC. The same goes for being an “administrator” for those sites. What does that entail? Do you honestly have lots of responsibilities, do you devote lots of time to it, have you learned anything from the experience? Or is it a situation where you get the title without really doing anything, or by only doing a little?</p>
<p>If the sites you’ve created are successful, and being an administrator is an actual “job,” then I say go for it! Good luck.</p>
<p>It would be better to say you’re fluent in java or C++.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I would also say no, unless you had a huge amount of people to deal with or there was some sort of fame involved.</p>
