Is This Considered An 'EC'

Applying to College

<p>Hey guys, I was thinking about this lately and was wondering what this would be considered.</p>

<p>I have spent all my Saturdays since kindergarten in Polish School. Basically, at the end of your junior year you get a Polish diploma and a Matura certificate.</p>

<p>And let me tell you, junior year was hell. All of Polish high school is prepared for the six hour written exam and spoken exams/presentations at the end of junior year (Matura), but junior year itself was horrible. But I graduated.(:</p>

<p>Is this an EC or…? Deff going on my app. I am very tall and was good at basketball but couldn’t play it, any other sports, or do any other things that required a good number of Saturdays.</p>

<p>Definately list it on your application. Probably EC is the best.</p>

<p>First, it explains what you’ve done with your free time.</p>

<p>Second, it is something that will stand out – the top schools probably see 50 applications from Class Presidents a day. They probably see very few Polish Diplomas and Matura Certificates. To the extent a school is looking for a well-rounded student body, this should help.</p>

<p>You might also even get an essay out if this.</p>
