<p>Do your ECs have to be things you do continuously in order to be counted with college admissions? For example, I'm going to be taking a dancing class that lasts for a month or two, and will be going on a 3-day long camp. Both are things that are done once. Do they count?</p>
<p>Also, how is tutoring looked at as an EC?</p>
<p>Might depend on the college...
I would list the dancing class as one. You could list the camp if you had nothing else..But I'd try to stay away from listing really short-term activities like that unless they are important competitions/etc. Tutoring looks great as an EC.
If you are applying for a UC, they have a limit on the ECs you can list, so be sure the choose the most impressive/significant or long-term ones first</p>
<p>I second the OP's question on tutoring. I go to school in NY and I tutored a lot of students in history so that they would pass their regents. So like 100 hours and I still tutor now.</p>
<p>Definitely list short-term ECs if they were significant in terms of time committment and interest. For example, I was in a play last year that rehearsed for only 8 weeks, but it was definitely significant! I also listed a three-week intensive singing camp. It's really a judgment call.</p>
<p>i second that, etselec.. nice post!</p>
