<p>Please expand upon an aspect (s) of your academic or extra-curricular background that you feel is especially important to you and that will help us to get to know you as a person.</p>

<p>What exactly qualifies as extra-curricular? Any hobby/thing you do that's outside school? Cuz i'm planning on writing about my experience in World of warcraft and how it's helped me develop skills that will continue to help me in the future (leadership, communication, teamwork, not ****ing your boss off like you did to your guildmates). While I think this is pretty trivial I think it can truly show the person I am and I'm kind of competitive/passionate about the game so that's a plus. </p>

<p>In the end my question is.. does this constitute as an extra-curricular background.</p>

<p>Writing about WOW would be risky and seem trivial, like you said, but it could still work if your a great writer (everyone says that >_<).</p>
