ECs: Can I list this?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello everyone. :)</p>

<p>I was just wondering if I could list photography as an EC on college applications? It's a hobby of mine that I'm pretty serious about, and I'm only asking because I do actually have pretty significant acomplishments related to it. Last year, I sold one of my photos (twice), and just recently, I won first place in a photo contest. Do you think these make it signifcant enough to list even though it's not something I do for school?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Yes, I would. Especially since you won a contest</p>

<p>Yes, it would definitely count. Colleges like seeing independent interest in an activity.</p>
