<p>This section of Princeton Reviews listing of academic factors is listed as "important" for both of my top schools. But the thing is I just don't think I have any that relates to my major (economics/business). The only things I can think of are my playing jazz drums and sports. Is that appropriate?</p>
<p>Also, where to mention this in an application? Is there an appropriate subsection or is this an essay mention?</p>
<p>I don't think it matters whether your talents and abilities have anything to do with your major. What schools want to know is that you are an active, involved, well-rounded person. In fact, it's good that you have varied interests.</p>
<p>On commonapp there is a section for talents and abilities, and I'm sure just about every college app has the same thing.</p>
<p>Write your essay from the heart, addressing whatever question is given. If your music or sports work their way in, great, but I don't think you have to force them in.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
