May I include this in an application?

Applying to College

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I signed up to be part of the school physics team, and made it. We didnt meet a lot or anything, we prepared on our own for 1.5 to 2 weeks, and everybody was aiming for the Physics Olympiad. I couldnt make it to the physics olympiad that day although I prepared a lot for it. May I put "Physics Team" in my extra curricular information?</p>

<p>P.S. : It wasnt anything formal to enter the team (no tests), just sign up, and the teachers review all applicants. If he/she doesnt think a person is fit for the olympiad, he will most likely not be allowed to represent the school.</p>

<p>Sure, you may put it on your application.</p>

<p>Keep in my mind that ECs that resonate with admissions committees are those in which you have passion, and in which to accomplish something good (or great). A laundry list of ECs, that merely show membership don’t help your application.</p>
