Extracurricular Activities

Overview

In this section, you can enter your extracurricular activities (e.g., academic clubs, competitive teams) in college and post-college. If you have any questions about your extracurricular activities fulfilling an individual program's requirements, inquire with that program directly. Do not include paid work experience in this section.

Enter Your Experience

1. Click Add an Experience.
2. Select the appropriate experience type from the drop-down.
3. Enter information about the organization where the experience took place.
4. Enter information about your supervisor at the organization. This is a person that programs can contact to verify that this experience occurred. If the experience was a student-organized group and there was no advisor, list a member who can verify your experience.
5. Enter the date or date range in which the experience took place. Note that your experiences will not display on your application in any specific order, regardless of the dates entered.
6. Enter additional details about the experience, including the title of the experience and the time commitments. Enter the average weekly number of hours that you completed for this experience during the date range that you indicated.
7. Select Yes or No to indicate a release authorization to allow your selected programs to contact the organization.
8. Click Save & Continue.

Note that you cannot repeat hours between Experience types. So, if position duties encompass more than one section, enter the position in both sections and divide the hours and duties accordingly.
