<p>Is it just me or does Columbia's activity list seem v. vague? For example, if I do fencing, I just put down "fencing" and years I've done it and that's it? Or if I did a martial art, would they even want to know if I have a black belt since it's not a "position of leadership"?</p>
<p>You don't need to have a leadership position to list an EC. Yes to both of your questions. If you competed in any fencing competitions you could indicate that.</p>
<p>You could put the black belt under "awards received"</p>
<p>I felt shortchanged when filling out that I've been in drama all four years of high school. I put "Leads in the last three productions" in "position of leadership" even though I felt a little iffy about putting that, but I guess it didn't matter.</p>
