I signed up to be a physics tutor at my school. It was a paid position, but I didn't really do alot of tutoring. How should I put this down on my AACOMAS? Where whould I put it? I don't know if it qualifies as "paid" employment or just another EC. I feel bad putting it down as paid employment...what should I do?
 
im kind of in the same position. I tutored for 2 months in organic chemistry and i also got paid for it. I set my own wages however because one of my professors just recommended me to the students.
 
I would suggest putting it as an EC, but that's just my opinion. 🙂
 
My professor recommended me as well and I wasn't really used much. I didn't see an EC section on the AACOMAS. Will there be a section on the secondaries where I can put it?
 
As I remember, every secondary application had a space for EC's and work experience. Most of the secondary applications are several pages long, so you should have plenty of room to put all of your experiences down. 🙂
