150-word response about EC. What is it?

<p>First of all, what purpose does this section of Common App serve? </p>

<p>Secondly, I’m sure everybody has done a lot of extra-curriculum activities. Therefore, how should we go about choosing an activity for this 150-word response? </p>

<p>Furthermore, what should the tone/style be? Narrative or descriptive? Objective or personalised? Formal or emotional?</p>

<p>First, just one more way to get to know you.</p>

<p>Secondly, pick the activity you’ve been most active in over a long period of time. This could be a group of activities. For instance, if you’re interested in medicine and did physician shadowing, joined a health professions club at school and volunteered at a hospital, you could talk about all of those things.</p>

<p>Furthermore, that’s up to you, whatever style best gives the AOs a feel for you and your interests.</p>
