I help run a popular video game fansite w/ 100k posts & 10k users. I spend a good bit of my free time on this site…should I include it on my app?
If I were you, I would. But I’m not applying to the Ivies (well, false, but only 1), so you should take this comment as a grain of salt.
Sure. Friend of ours son is, among his other achievements, ranked 5th in the world in a very popular video game and helps run a fansite. He’s at MIT now. I assume it was his grades, test scores and other achievements that got him in - but the quirkiness of this particular accomplishment probably got him some points.
Be sure to mention the site by name. Gives you credibility.
Thanks for the feedback. Still a bit unsure about this…but I think I’ll include it anyways
I would include it, because you have spent a lot of time on it. It shows a lot of commitment and a great deal of achievement.
