"I intend to participate while in college"

<p>How much does this question matter? One of the activities that's the most important to me is my participation in a Model Congress, and I'm planning on staying involved in politics even though that particular program probably won't be offered. Should I check the box for I intend to continue?
Thanks for your advice :)</p>

<p>anyone? its probably not that big of a deal but i’m still a bit confused over this…</p>

<p>I think you are right that it is not that big of a deal. As long as you are not blatantly lying about your intent, I think it’s fine.
If you think clarification is important, you might have the opportunity to do it elsewhere in the application, especially if the schools you’re applying to have a supplementary application.
Lots of kids change their minds about what they “intend” to do after they get to college.</p>

<p>My opinion is that if you intend to participate in something similar or related, it’s OK to check the box. Since this is on the Common App, I don’t think it’s that important to determine whether each of the colleges offers that activity (unless you make a big deal in your application about how that activity is essential for you).</p>
