Totally. It's interesting and some schools (Yale comes to mind) promote the fact that they have a cappella groups.

YEeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss

It doesn't have to be intramural to be extracurricular. It doesn't even have to be in a chapel!

acappella rules all and med schools will recognize. 😉

Just be good enough to actually sing well in front of the interviewers if asked to perform.

I think that's one of the more interesting EC's I've read of on here. You should totally list it. It doesn't have to be school/class related to be something worthy of listing.

It'll be a great discussion topic, and really helps make you unique.

I directed my collegiate acappella group for a couple years in college...it was my source of sanity through pharmacy school.

Haha. Well, I seriously hope no one asks me to sing. I'll probably be so nervous that I'll sound awful! I guess another problem with this EC is that I'm not sure what to put down for a contact person... I've been perusing the message boards here and it seems like there's a huge debate going on about this. Are contacts optional? Should I not list one? Really there is no supervisor for this group. It's just something we did for fun. I could give the name of a fellow group member but if I do this, should I warn this person that they might be getting phone calls for medical school?

On some level, I feel like I'm just being paranoid and ridiculous. Please feel free to let me know if this is the case 🙂

I'm sure it will be clear that it was a student led group. If there is no contact person, you don't need to invent one.
