<p>Just school clubs and volunteering?</p>
<p>As a homeschooled student what do you do for EC's then?</p>
<p>I wonder because some people claim learning and instrument or doing dance as EC's and I'm curious to know what YOU think.</p>
<p>Yep, those are all ECs. ECs are basically any (constructive) activity that you do outside of school. So, yes, playing instruments, painting, running, dancing, and volunteering are all examples of ECs.</p>
<p>Oh, and you can always volunteer outside of school, too. Check your local newspaper, there are usually projects listed in mine that I could get involved with.</p>
<p>how about FBLA, PJAS, and the school clubs???? I also play several instruments, but outside of school...I just learn on my own, cuz i've been playing them for over 5 years....would that be considered as EC's??</p>
<p>instruments, dance companies, school clubs, volunteering, youth organizations/groups, businesses, jobs, etc...Anything you do consistently</p>
<p>(I suggest to the above poster-get tested by your state's music association to show your level of ability in the outside instruments)</p>
<p>It's really difficult to show your ability, achievement, and commitment in visual arts... it is a rather independent activity, and there aren't any exam you write, so unless you include a portfolio how else can you showcase that?</p>
<p>take AP Studio Art.</p>
<p>Do home schooled students get more leeway with proving it?</p>
<p>"It's really difficult to show your ability, achievement, and commitment in visual arts."</p>
<p>You can exhibit in art galleries, submit artwork for awards, take photos for the yearbook, take classes. </p>
<p>Lots of ways to show that talent, if you have it.</p>
<p>What if you are self taught?</p>
<p>(I'm not talking about art, but music)</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Join a band, perform for local charity groups, there's probably music competitions in your area.</p>
