I’m an international student from Italy. I did 2 years of ice skating but didn’t take part in major competitions or win any awards. I was just doing it because I enjoyed it. I’m unsure if I should list it among my 10 ECs on the Common App. It would be the only sport related activity on my application. Do colleges want to see students take part in sport? The other activities I have so far are volunteering, internships, several school groups, music school (piano, choir, numerous courses), science and coding related projects and activities. Should I include ice skating as an activity or fill that spot with another science related one?
Fill the spot with whichever one is more meaningful to you. In general, unless one is a recruited athlete, a sport is nomore meaningful than any other EC.
