Most people say that you need to be in an extra curricular activities for 3 years to show commitment. I am thinking about joining track my 11th and 12th grade years,would this help my application much even though I only did it for 2 years?
It won’t hurt it.
Regardless, if you want to run track, then do so. Don’t let college applications dictate what EC’S you do or don’t do.
I have a somewhat similar situation. I was full time in my robotics club freshman and sophomore years (averaging 10 hours a week both years.) My junior year I only went to preseason meetings. How do I write this on my app? I plan on doing it my senior year, I just had circumstances where I thought it was best for me to do less robotics this year. Should I decrease average hours? For example, do 5 hours instead of 10 so it more accurately describes what I did?
I don’t want to discount the hours I put in this year for it. I’d say I did around 25-30 hours this year over a few meetings.
it’s fine. also it is only track (a sport) so it won’t make much impact (unless you write an essay, etc about it and its impact)
