<p>^When you say extended study do you mean an independent study, college courses, research paper…?</p>
<p>Intern for a congressman in d.c. I am.</p>
<p>Independent study. I’m sure all my teacher recs talked about it, and I included it as an EC, as I’m in a national organization for it. It was also the subject of my common app essay. :P</p>
<p>I firebreathe regularly (not really an EC though…) and I was at Burning Man last year. Experiences/hobbies like that could always make good essay topics. </p>
<p>Although, I’m not sure if firebreathing is really appealing to colleges, but I think I’ll start a club for it whereever I go, hahah.</p>
