Effect of listing political activites as an EC?

<p>I would imagine that in the next year, lots of teens are going to become very involved in political activities...primaries, general election, local, state and national candidates. Is that type of thing normally listed on applications? I know that some people become totally absorbed in campaigns, such that it might consume 20+ a week of their time. </p>

<p>In our own case, my son wants to apply only to schools within about a 4 hour radius of Dallas....that means that most of the schools will range from conservative to very conservative. My son will not be campaigning for conservative candidates.</p>

<p>Is even very intense political activity better left unmentioned?</p>
