Hi, guys! I was wondering if you guys listed some of your hobbies under extracurriculars. Right now I am looking at OptomCAS feeling like I shouldn't because they ask for a start date and end date (and who really keeps track of the exact month they started or ended a hobby) and numbers of hours per week and number of hours per year. I can understand adding something like volunteering outside of optometry in this section, but did you list hobbies like reading, drawing, swimming, etc? I had many hobbies throughout college up to now, so when I saw the "Extracurricular Activities, Hobbies, and Avocations Description" box while I was listing out some of my extracurriculars, I felt like maybe they just wanted to know more about what I like to do and what sets me apart from other people. What do you guys think?

For that section, it would still be a good idea to keep it simple and list what you would on a resume. Clubs, or a sport you did in college are great examples. Volunteer activities are great.
