<p>Please, define what exactly can be considered an extracurricular activity. In Russia that would simply mean things like dance, music, art etc., but I've read somewhere on CC that e.g.travelling abroad in summer is an EA.
Help greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>"EC" can be any activity done with some regularity that is not a part of the regular school curriculum and is important to the applicant. Travel can be an EC particularly if the student travels to the same place for the same reason...I know a student who goes to a foreign language camp every summer and has done so since she was little. I think you can call that an EC. I don't think that visiting a city on vacation is an EC. I also don't think a hobby like knitting is an EC unless the knitter is also a part of a larger group of knitters or crafts people.</p>
<p>I am sure you will find other opinions out there. Best of luck!</p>
<p>EA = early action but I think you knew that and just mistyped :)</p>
