<p>I'm applying on the University of Illinois application online, and I run into the high school extracurriculars box. Does that mean anything outside of high school classes, because there isn't another category for activities outside of high school? For instance, I have varsity wrestling, but I also have karate not affiliated w/ my school. I have jazz trumpet in the jazz band, but I also have piano outside of school.</p>

<p>extracurricular literally means "outside of school". so yes, anything that's not a class, whether it's school sponsored or not (at least, so says my GC)</p>
<p>extra curricular means outside of school so anything you do outside of your normal classes (English, Social Studies, Science, and Math). all of my EC's so far have been outside of school since my school does barely offers any EC (sob!). no journalism, creative writing, art program, music program! no dance, no computer science, no sports teams (with the exception of basketball)! no drama program, or debate team, or chess club, or key club, or mu alpha theta. no magazines or newspaper (except a biannual litereary hebrew magazine) aarrggh! so we have mun but nobody has ever won anything. nhs is finsally getting to work this year (they're implementing a tutor program i got a pproved and are having me work with them on it even though im not in nhs). and student council is ridiculous. they dont do shiz. seriously. ok sorry for that rant, but i need to vent sometimes.</p>
<p>back to the OP's initial question: yes those are EC's they want you to list bc what if you go to a school like mine?</p>
<p>would you consider choir extracurricular, even if i take it for credit?</p>
<p>TODO MI AMIGO. Even if you take it for credit. Because, I assume, that you had to do some work outside of those elective classes to get by.</p>
