<p>Hey guys! I'm having a little trouble arranging my ECs as I don't know what I should or should not include... This is what I plan to include...</p>
<p>1) Percussion/Piano 10 hrs/week
- Well, I've learned the piano since like 5, and picked up drums since 12 and I absolutely love music and I practice one instrument or another almost every other day...</p>
<p>2) High school symphonic band 11/12 grade 15 hrs/week</p>
<p>3) High school symphonic band 9/10 grade 15 hrs/week</p>
<p>Now this looks tricky, my number 2 and 3 are both about band, becuz I'm an international where 9-10 grade is always at a different school than 11-12 grade, so becuz i have different positions and they're entirely different schools, i should split them up right? For example i was president in my 9/10 grade band, but only section leader in my 11/12 grade band... Should I merge them or keep them seperate?</p>
<p>4) Outside band 10 hrs/week 9-12 grade</p>
<p>this is not related to school, it's just an outside band</p>
<p>5) Science research 50 hrs/week but only 4 weeks a year</p>
<p>Ok, for this science research thingy, should i really include it in? Becuz i only did it like for a month once, and should i put it under science/math or academic?</p>
<p>6) Peer mentoring 3hrs/week</p>
<p>7) Swimming 3hrs/week</p>
<p>now i know ppl are suspicious abt 6 and 7, being only 3 hrs a week... should i really include it? Especially swimming because I don't swim competitively, but I only take it up as a hobby...</p>
<p>Stuff that I might put inside instead of swimming/peer mentoring is</p>
<p>8) Economics competitions</p>
<p>i participated in about 2 econs competitions, but again it's just a one off thing, but a lot of hours was spent into preparing it...</p>
<p>So yea cc pls help me... After reading just the first 4 ECs i don't want ppl to think that i'm just a band nerd... The fact is that I really enjoy music! So I was thinking of including things like swimming to show that i'm a little all rounder? help me guys =)</p>
