<p>What counts as EC? just anything not in the school curriculum?</p>
<p>Would science fairs be counted as EC even though it was for a class? (it's not officially required but the teacher makes you try to present somthing)</p>
<p>Would summer school courses taken in universities count as EC?</p>
<p>Im talking about stuff that's not obvious ECs. My definition of obvious ECs are like school debate/sports/science&math team etc.</p>
<p>Internships/Volunteer Work/Sports/Summer programs/Involvement in events…alot of stuff falls into the broad catagory-dont sell youself short.</p>
<p>(I think jobs do but im not sure)</p>
<p>If you won an award at the science fair, I’d put that in the award section rather than the EC section.</p>
<p>Summer courses/classes I would put in the section where they ask if you’ve taken classes at another school.</p>
<p>jkaplan1212, jobs definitely qualify as well. Unless the Duke admissions guy was lying to me when he was at my school.</p>
<p>Alright cool, I actually was wondering that for my Apps, I held two jobs at once to pay for a summer program at Stanford</p>
<p>well, actually, on the app there’s a separate section for jobs, i believe.</p>
<p>Being involved in groups at your place of worship also count as ECs. </p>
<p>Jobs go in the job section.</p>
