<p>If the number of hours per week you spend on an extracurricular activity changed over time, do you take the most recent hours count or the overall average?</p>

<p>Also, another question for ECs, if you do one or more athletic activities, and you work out at the gym for a certain number of hours each week for the specific purpose of getting better at that sport, would they count towards an ec as well? Thanks</p>

<p>My son averaged out the number of hours for extracurricular activities which changed depending upon the season. He included time spent in workouts which were a part of the sport (and under the coach’s supervision and direction). He did not include any hours working out in a gym which were on his own time. </p>
