What should I include in EC section?

<p>Can you provide a description of your activities on the common app like for violin-three different orchestras in school, lettered, played at nursing homes, played in Carnegie hall, ect.?</p>

<p>Not that many people here seem to do filmmaking, but it is a passion and hobby of mine. I make vacation videos, movies I write myself, movies for teachers to summarize their class, movies to teach awareness of issues like teen driving, ect. Should I include this on app or does it not look prestigious or not related to my major so no one cares?</p>

<p>An EC is not just school clubs. If you have a hobby that you pursue (and it seems like you really do) write it down. It doesn’t have to be “prestigious”-that helps- but rather something you are truly interested in.</p>

The common app preview is <a href=“https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/docs/downloadforms/CommonApp2011.pdf[/url]”>https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/docs/downloadforms/CommonApp2011.pdf&lt;/a&gt;. It allows a tiny bit of space for each activity, and a section to elaborate (150 words) on one of them.</p>
