Not sure if this counts as an extracurricular activity...

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm the moderator of a forum of ~10,000 members. Could I add this as an EC? Or is that just embarrassing? :P I'm guessing the latter, but hey, anything to boost me up a little right?</p>

2

<p>Depends which colleges... I'm sure some would love to see this.</p>

<p>BTW, what forum?</p>

3

<p>If it is a well known forum; tack it on; I am pretty sure it won't be negative</p>

4

<p>Yes if it helps account for your time after normal school hours include it. What do you learn from being a moderator of the forum and does it help define you and where you are going?</p>

5

<p>what about administrating some game servers that have high traffic (99th %tile in world) and administrate site with 7k members? I want to mention it because it takes up time, but it's a computer game and I don't know how to approach it. Also, it has nothing to do with my other interests (medicine + business) which my ECs are centered on.</p>

<p>Colleges would be high(er) tier like Middlebury/upenn/dartmouth...</p>

<p>Well, I dunno if it would serve me well to actually write about it. It's uh, not exactly like a "Math is the Greatest!" forum or something like that. It's more like a site for illegally downloading tv shows and tv discussion. Lol, don't think that would be something to emphasize about me.</p>

7

<p>I don't know - some people might want to check out the website. Is your forum obviously shady or does it seem to be just about pop culture at first glance? You might be able to get away with saying that you've had experience in running forums and web scripts.</p>

<p>I'm going to have to go ahead and suggest you don't mention this LOL</p>

<p>Unless it's The Pirate Bay (you being a group of 20-something Swedes with a penchant for flaunting authority) or something of similar caliber, I would keep that under the rug for now.</p>

10

<p>Dude, if it's a highly sketchy website... don't do it.</p>

11

<p>Could I do something along the lines of what fluxxii suggested?</p>
