<p>I know this question was probably asked a thousand times here. However, I make this question referring to a specific hobby: architectural designing
I’m not part of a club of this or anything, I just do it by myself. It’s something that I’m extremely passionate about, I’m pursuing business because it is my main passion; but for fun, I absolutely love architecture. I spend hours every day (ok, around 2) drawing and designing buildings, houses, interiors, etc. I have all my designs stored. I do not know much about the technical part of it.
I would really like to list this in my ECs. I simply love it and am passionate about this; it’s the only unusual thing I’m actually passionate about. I know it’s kind of weird, but does it still count? Even when I do it alone?
The other thing I would list is Tennis, which I have practiced for the last 2 years. The third thing would be community service, which is something I also spend a lot of time in.
Would that be enough to get into schools like Northeastern, Binghamton, GATECH, etc? With 3.7 UW GPA and 2150 SAT
Thank you</p>
<p>Unless you have any kind of recognition in the field, consider writing an essay about it instead of listing it as an EC.</p>
<p>If your work is of sufficiently high quality (relative to other applicants to the schools you’re interested in), also consider submitting an arts supplement with examples of your architectural design work.</p>
<p>Your stats look to be a high match/low reach (conservatively) for the schools you’re interested in. SAT should be fine, but UWGPA seems low to me.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
