<p>The prompt specifically reads "school or summer activity" - what if my main EC isnt at school, and its all year long? </p>
<p>Also, does short imply that the essay length should be around 200 words?</p>
<p>I wrote about an outside of school/year-round activity too and I got in EA so don't sweat it.</p>
<p>As for length, I wrote around 350 words but I think 200 sounds very reasonable for the short essay.</p>
