Has anyone put a blog in their ECs? For example I have a food blog that gets decent traffic. Any worth on putting that in an app?

I think it would be an interesting talking point if nothing else. I would put it on there if it is something that takes up a significant amount of time. I put cooking down as one of my "hobbies" as I have taken a few classes, and it is something I do as a stress reliever. I think I would include it if it is something important to you.

You know what, I was going to start up a blog with a friend, but we just didn't end up going through with it. But anyways, I think I would have it as an EC. Seems like a nice EC/Hobby and I do not see anything wrong with it. I would've mentioned on mine if I had it went through. Gl.

If it were me, and I had enough room on my AMCAS, I would include it. It's a somewhat interesting hobby. That assumes, though, that it's totally clean (free from cursing, etc.), since an adcom could easily read it if they were curious.

Thanks guys! Yeah I keep it clean from cussing but is it really that big of a deal? I mean adcoms I'm assuming are adults (ha!) they can't handle a a little cursing? haha

Please tell me you're listing that as an activity on your amcas. Please please please 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You said you had a blog with decent traffic... I was assuming something established with at least a few hundred hits a day, not a picture from del taco

Maybe the number of curious people checking out the blog from this thread has helped raise traffic a bit.

Yup =). Can I get a break I am just trying to find a way to make my app unique. Face it, all of us have volunteer experience, research, good grades, and a decent MCAT.
