I am a post bacc applying this cycle. In between undergrad and my post bacc I worked for 6 years.

For extracurriculars, I have volunteer activities that I am putting down, as well as an organized intramural sport team that I play on.

However, I enjoy a lot of other things. I have grown up dancing, and in recent years have been taking an ethnic dance class (Bhangra). I love it because it's a lot of fun, but it has also deepened my appreciation for another culture. Additionally, I often take classes to explore other interests I have, such as cooking, French, ballet etc. Are these activities simply considered hobbies or can they be extracurriculars? Since I am a non-traditional applicant, the extracurriculars available to me aside from volunteering are these experiences that I have sought out while I was in the working world and since I have gone back to class.

What do you think?
 
Include things that you can talk enthusiastically about in the interview. Who cares if they categorize under EC's or not. If you can defend it and tell an entertaining story that's what matters...
