I would take that to mean any extracurricular activities (non-academic) that you actively participated in during your college career. So yes, research, volunteering, sports, etc. would all count.

agreed.

What about a P/F class like dance? Is that an EC? Say the applicant took the class for a year.

I seriously doubt that I'd put it down given that I have other more salient things to write, but still...what do you think?

Did you take it for credit? Even if it's a P/F course like dance, that's not an EC - that's an academic class.

It might be arguable if you did something like a preceptorship or independent study for credit - I did each of these things but still listed them as ECs in AMCAS and on secondaries. But a dance class? I don't think that would cut it...

Yeah, I *used* what I learned outside the class, for dance parties, competitions, etc. but not very much or very often. And it was only for one year.

I'm not exactly lacking in ECs...so it's doubtful that I would be inclined to include it.

Thanks for the response anyway, chad You're very helpful!
