I am applying to Purdue (for engineering). I have 5 extracurricular activities: Key Club, my job, Ski and Snowboard club, Recreational Volleyball, and Physics Club. I will probably add the former four to my common app, but I am debating on adding Physics Club. I loved it, but I was only in it my sophomore year because it ended after the teacher went to another school. I want to add it because I enjoyed it and, unlike the other four activities, it’s related to my major. However, at the same time, I feel like adding it would seem petty, since I was only in it for a year. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I’d put it on. You could note something like “Only year school had club” or something. It is your only STEM EC, and you want to be an engineer.
When you want stem, always good to have math-sci ECs.
@intparent @lookingforward thanks
