<p>I am going to major in business and have taken photography classes for three years…a total of 5 classes involving photography. Three of them were wet lab phtoography and the other two are photojournalism classes, where I take pictures at school events, classrooms, and sports. I think it really added another dimension to my application. I didn’t apply to any ivy schools, but I got into the Honors College at my school, and my academic grades aren’t absolutely wonderful. I think it really shows that your D doesn’t spend her entire life revolving around school and work. Plus, it’s a different type of EC that most other students have (like orchestra, piano, chorus).</p>
<p>For the Honors App, it said to list 10 activities you are involved in or any awards you have received. I listed my volunteering and academic involvements, but I also listed my last three as the awards I’ve gotten and my participation in photography. (I’m also my school’s photo club president…so that probably helps). I wouldn’t necessarily make it your number 1 activity, but definitely mention it.</p>
