<p>Could I work my senior year instead of an EC or would that hurt my college admission chances? Also if I have been on a swim club team since I was 10 with two few month breaks would I have to include those or could I just put age 10 to present (or beginning of senior year)?</p>
<p>Work. It’s money. EC’s don’t add too much to college apps anyway unless you’ve been involved for 2 or more years or had a leadership role</p>
<p>So would it make much of a difference between 7 years and 8 years?</p>
<p>work is an EC</p>
<p>A job shows an admissions officer that you are responsible and capable of being hired by an adult and ultimately will this will help you obtain an internship down the road.</p>
