How many hours TOTAL did you spend on various ECs according to your app?

<p>title says it all</p>

<p>I just want to know what the average student put…mine is 30-40</p>

<p>to EDers: can you post your decision as well?</p>

<p>I applied regular--I have 38. I'm sure you're fine.</p>

<p>What are you asking exactly? I don't understand :o</p>

<p>thats ALOT...like over 5 hours a say, 7 days a week. I have like 20, at most. But I'm a junior though :)</p>

<p>i had prob more than 40. but the weeks/year left it as much less than that avg/wk</p>

<p>i didn't count, tho. how'd that occur to you?</p>

<p>I had 38 because some things, marching band for example--that's 20 hours a week, but only for 2 and a half months. it's 38 if you add them all up, but not all at a time. in the 20s at a time.</p>

<p>Adding them all up...mine is about 200 hrs.</p>

<p>What are you asking? Per week? Per year?</p>

<p>Per week, I'd say 20-30.</p>

<p>Per year, over 500.</p>

<p>sorry i wasn't being clear.. per week on average </p>

<p>krabble, on the EC section of the app, they ask you to list how many hours per week you spend on that activity. I was wondering how many hours you spent on your ECs per week... if you add all the hours together</p>

<p>26e, since this site is most useful for comparison among applicants, I just wanted to see if the number of hours I spent on my activities was considered "normal". :)</p>

<p>ah per week? then it would probably be about 3-5 hrs per week with some weeks gaining a heck of a lot more if I have club meetings.</p>

<p>Per week?</p>

<p>25 probably.</p>

<p>Sports are 3 hours a day, then a ton of speech and debate stuff.</p>

<p>More if I gotta do church things, can easily get up to 50.</p>

<p>I don't sleep enough</p>

<p>3-5 TOTAL? that's kinda low isn't it?</p>

<p>50-60...i spend way over 20 hours per week doing research</p>

<p>OH... okay.. I thought you meant # of hours per year, and I thought 30 or 40 was a bit low haha.. for me, it depends on what time of year. Sometimes it can be 5 to 10 hours, while at other times, it is upwards 30 hours.</p>

<p>dooit 3-5 per week, not total. Is that low??? That's only for my one regular EC, hospital volunteering, which is on every Friday. So far I have 150 with hospital volunteering alone. I am involved with other clubs, but they meet like one week per month if there isn't anything special going on.</p>

<p>I might be more involved but I just don't have the energy sometimes. Between IB, volunteering, homework, projects, college applications, IAs bleh...</p>

<p>I had in the low 50s per week including everything, though, ECs, volunteer work, jobs, hobbies etc. I think sometimes people underestimate the time of some of their commitments. I used the book Rock Hard Apps by Katharine Cohen as a guide, and that was also a typical number of hours for an involved student. She says to include travel time if you play away games, rehearsal time if you're in the band, etc.</p>
