Ektaylor is right. post#11

I would also like to add that should you get involved in any ECs, you don't really have to put that much energy into it. Running a club mostly means showing up and hosting a meeting once a week. When I tell people I run a club, they look upon me in amazement, saying that I must be dedicated etc... But in reality, I show up to only one 1hr meeting a week. And tutoring, well if you tutor a class that was a prerequisite for a class that you are concurrently taking, you kill 3 birds with one stone. You force yourself to think on the spot, thus refining the skills that you need in your current courses all the while being payed and gaining hours to put on your EC sheet. This can only be as much as 6-8 hrs a week. Not anything physically/mentally taxing.

Also keep in mind that professional schools such as Law and Medicine care alot about ECs.
