Sports and how to fill out the extracurricular section on AADSAS

Members don't see this ad.

I am wondering what people do on the extracurricular section pertaining to the hours of the actual sport and the community service hours. I am trying to add more volunteer hours because I am applying to Atstill and MOSDOH and they want that number to be high. How would you guys write in in to distinguish the hours?

Thanks for any feedback!

I'm confused about what you are asking.

I am asking how to distinguish between the hours of actually playing the sport and the hours I did for community service with my team. I would list it separately, but that section is full on my application. Does that make more sense?

Split up your sport into two separate activities in the EC section, one for the sport and the other for the community service you did on the team and split the hours based on how much time you spent in each aspect of the activity. If you don't have room for both, then pick the one you think would make your application stronger.

I wouldn't say sports is not what you should write in terms of community service. Ask yourself some questions, such as is this helping the community in any way?

I was about to put sunday teacher as a community service, but i realize that it might seem it is biased towards the asian catholic community.

I hope this helps! Sports for an extra circ. activity isn't too bad, just mention what you do too.

Thanks for the feedback! Our team did one project a semester like re-painting an elementary school or held trunk-for-kids during halloween so I thought that could count towards volunteer hours and not be biased.
