<p>I have a successful blog with over 10,000 followers. Would it be weird if I listed it as an extracurricular? I made it when i needed a creative outlet and somehow it grew. It's a personal/fashion/photography blog. Would this improve my chances? I'm considering Columbia, Berkley, and UCLA</p>
<p>I would if I were you! It’s more out of the box, and it seems like a significant investment of your time. I wish I had included the Instagram mini-empire I created over the summer in my application (creativity && networking in a way). I say go for it (:</p>
<p>thank you! </p>
<p>I’m afraid if i said something ignorant / controversial though.</p>
<p>This is something you have to judge for yourself. Most admissions officers will have a reasonably high tolerance for edgy content, provided it isn’t truly pornographic or degrading. I don’t see how it could hurt. I don’t think the UC applications offer space for optional content, but you could probably include it in a personal statement, or post a link where you list outside activities and interests. There’s no harm in contacting admissions offices directly, to ask the best way to include it. Smaller colleges will welcome an additional sample of creative work. Are you interested in media, journalism, or a related field?</p>
<p>I agree with @woogzmama plus is it related to a field you want to go into? Jw</p>
<p>I’ve been somewhat interested in journalism and blogging / photography / creative writing is a hobby of mine that I’m considering continuing in college. </p>
<p>There’s nothing inappropriate on my blog; I just feel that it is very ~informal~ to the college admissions process. </p>
<p>I hear a lot of comments about how college admissions officers look up students, and rejected them after finding out that they went to a party or something. I go to parties, but there’s nothing bad that happens. It’s just horrendous looking dancing and bad fashion. LOL. </p>
