<p>I don't know if this is the right forum to post this thread in but....</p>

<p>Is it worth mentioning something an EC you did for years and then decided not to pursue it through college? </p>

<p>I played a travel sport for four years and was named captain for two yeras. My team broke up in 2011 and I decided not to continue with the sport because I knew I wasn't going to play in college. However, during the four years I played, I was very committed and invested a lot of time into practicing and playing. </p>

<p>That being said, is it acceptable to include this in my application?</p>

<p>Definitely, definitely include this in your application. It shows commitment, as you mentioned. I did track and field throughout my four years in hs, but I don’t plan to continue it in college. I still included it in my app for the same reason, though.</p>

<p>I my case, I joined FBLA for two years but eventually I decided it wasn’t for me (after 2 years), and I left to focus on other clubs and studies. Should I mention it?</p>

<p>Definitely include that in your application!! :smiley: Even if you won’t be continuing it in college, they’ll like to see that you pursued an EC like that.</p>
