ECs: Participating for part of the year

<p>I joined a few of my extracurriculars in winter/spring of my sophomore year. The activities are ones that either have fall/spring sessions or are just full year. As a junior and a senior I plan to participate for the full year. How do I indicate that I participated for that initial half year? </p>

<p>I wouldn't really worry about it and would just count the half year at all, but I didn't really have many extracurriculars freshman/most of sophomore year and don't want it to look like I joined everything junior year. So how would I go about indicating this on the common app?</p>

<p>I think you could just mark it as the whole year. For example, I tutor on occasion, and when I do have a client it’s 1 hour every week, but I don’t have a client for every week of the entire school year. But instead of averaging out the hours so it would end up be like .35 hrs/week or something random because of the weeks I didn’t have anyone, he said just to say 1 hr/wk. So it doesn’t have to be exact, I guess? You could mention it in the “additional info” box if you wanted to, though. =)</p>

<p>aplomb, you should declare how many weeks in the year do you actually have a client, remember? ECs are registered as hrs/wk and wks/yr</p>
