I do have some memberships and activities such as swim. But Ｉnever participated a lot and never got any awards from it. Will this affect a lot on my application to the Top 10 school? Also, do you think swim /reading, also activities?

If you swim ALONE, that doesn't count as Ext activity. But, if you join a swimming team and compete for medal, that should count. If you lead a swimming team to success, that's even better.

Thanks, Chamup,

Yes, I swim alone.

Then should my membership in some communities such as Auto Club count even though I don't hold any position? Are there other applicants all having enough time to be involved in activities for metal??

confused..

Some common Extra activities that most applicants include are: Volunteer work (United Way, YMCA, other not-for-profit orgnizations); sports team (either a leader or actively participate); church service; other groups (like youth group very common in China).

In terms of extra activities, what Adcoms are looking for is:

1) your commitment. You have been involved in the activity for some time. Not just one-time behavior

2) the degree you involve. You assume a certain responsibility in the activity.

Except the examples chipmunk has mentioned, charity events are also popular.

How many hours involvement per week is reasonable?

tsljz · 发表于 2003-9-26 04:35:00

hard to say. it depends on how busy you are in your job. sometimes a few hours per week is enough if you involve in the activity for three years.

Thank you, tsljz.

Just curious, where can I find the introduction for all the warm-hearted ban zhu men?
