<p>So I've read a couple of posts where people said "reading books" or "reading science books" was one of their EC's? I've read the newspaper for about 15-20 min. a day 5-7 days a week for the last five years. I was going to put this in the additional info section as an interest/hobby but is it an EC? Can someone please clarify.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t, sounds like unnecessary fluff in an attempt to make your EC list longer IMO.</p>
<p>If you have to ask, it probably isn’t. This is the case here, as well.</p>
<p>I agree with the other posters but would add the only way I would incorporate this activity of yours into your application would perhaps be in (one of your essays.</p>
<p>Alright thanks for the advice guys, i wont put it as an EC. It did sound kind of lame anyways.</p>
