ERAS "Hobbies" Question

[DocRock19]

Hi -

I am filling out ERAS and have heard that if you have done something significant with one of your hobbies, you could consider adding it as "Work Experience" rather than just mentioning it in the "Hobbies/Interests" section. For example, I play guitar (hobby) but I have recorded and released a full-length album of my music, and am wondering if it makes sense to add this to the "Experiences" section since it seems to elevate it a bit rather than just leaving it as a hobby. Any thoughts on this? Anyone have a similar situation?

Regards

I’d put it in both places, using the field in the experiences section to actually expand on what you did.

I would keep it in the hobbies section.

Better to expand on your hobby with someone who’s interested rather than to show it to every program.
