<p>Does posting an EC you used to do hurt or help?
I used to wrestle (freshman year). </p>
<p>Should i list it or not</p>
<p>why not, people explore and grow</p>
<p>and that is hat freshman year is for…</p>
<p>Not sure about this either. At the UCLA tour, the tourguide said it’s show depth and passion if you stick with one activity for 4 years. I know DD did not continue with her sports after the PE requirement is done. D still put this sport that she did in 9th and 10th grade as an EC because she spent a lot of time in that EC. However, D removed piano, an activity she did since kindergarten but has not continued as much in high school. She spent less than a year in this activity in HS. She does not have a passion for piano so it was ok not to list it.</p>
<p>I think it depends on what else you have for ECs… For exampler, there’s room for 7 on the common app, and they should be the seven you are most proud of, only listing further if you have more intense/amazing activities than that… So if you don’t have much for ECs, I doubt it will hurt, but if you already have plenty, focus the spotlight on what has mattered most to you.</p>
<p>It’s fine. CGM is right: People are expected to explore and grow. It’s fine to try a variety of activities to see which ones you like, and it’s OK to keep doing that for the rest of your life, not just freshmen year</p>
