<p>On the application, there's spots for 7 ECs. Now, i have 6 really solid ones and a couple of fluffy ones. Should i just go with just 6 or put a fluffy one to the list and make it 7.</p>
<p>Depends on how fluffy the fluffy ones are. It’s hard to say without concreteness.</p>
<p>I don’t see why you can’t. Its pretty much a given that all EC’s aren’t going to be 100% solid with 800+ hours of work. If you think one of your ‘fluffy’ EC’s shows that you are more well rounded, I say go for it. The fluffy ones won’t hurt your chances, unless you know for certain that the college your applying to has a specific standard of what they’ll accept as EC’s</p>
<p>for example, sport council and music council. Like i’m already putting down Varsity Basketball and Concert Band as ECs. I don’t know if i should put those councils down since i don’t go to those two councils a lot. I’m also debating if i should put Pick up Basketball+ Houseleague basketball down, since i spend like 5 hours a week on them for every week, but they are more like a past-time activity so i’m not sure.</p>
<p>Put the ones that are most important to you.</p>
<p>put 7, include the fluffy</p>
<p>What you consider fluffy still might show a bit of who you are. Even if the EC doesn’t give you any real advantage as compared to someone without it, if it helps your admissions officer understand who you are better, and to make a real person out of you more, it won’t hurt.</p>
