Hi All,
For an overnight program that lasted several weeks, how many hours per week should I put in the activities section of the Common App? Should I put 168, which is how many hours are in a week, or something different?
Definitely not 168. I would put the number per day that you were actively involved with programming or work hours. It’s a rough estimate anyway. No college on this planet will care/notice if you put 700 hours or 200. But the 700 simply looks suspect (which it is because you’re literally including 24 hrs for each day!)
