<p>Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below or on an attached sheet (150 words or fewer).</p>
<p>Does it definitely need only one? What if I had a few similar ECs, should I mention them to show my focus??</p>
<p>Define “similar.” </p>
<p>I would just stick to one.</p>
<p>They are not that impressive on their own but I have quite a few similar (Volunteering to help kids). I’m guessing the ad com would notice that (without having to mention them in the essay to strengthen it) because I kind of want to show Im focused on doing those activities?</p>
<p>Then perhaps you could talk about volunteering in general, and mention the two as minor details instead.</p>
<p>I’m worried just talking about volunteering to teach children is a bit too broad and uninteresting. (also, its not really ONE of my activities)</p>
<p>Volunteering to teach children is indeed one thing. If it is what you are interested to the point you do it for several different venues at several different times, all the better. My daughter has danced in many places for many reasons, but her EC essay was about her passion for dance.</p>
