No but when you've got a break the week before ur week 1 comp and u end up spending 12 hours every weekday and 14 on the weekends just holed up in ur workshop with 5 other kids, frantically trying to put together the subsystems, get all the code working, get the scouting kids organized, pack the trailer and everything and before u know it, uv been at shop for 90 hours.

The way I have done over 700 hours of marching band since August and is still on going and it’s only my first year. 💀 We got 1st place every competition so it was worth those hours.
My friends and I did the math last year, and counting performances we had about 400 hours from band camp in August to our last comp in October. I totally get how you could get 700 though, especially if y'all started earlier in the month and had more than 2 practices a week.
same, since i’m taking it as a class. same with band. i also do 2 hours of orchestra and 2.5 hours of volunteer work 😭 then i’m applying for an internship at a hospital and when you combine that with the 70 hours a week i spend on school and homework, and the 20 hours that just disappear down the drain due to my ADHD, that leaves me like no time to sleep 😭 i get like 2-5 hours of sleep but sometimes 0
Assuming that means you’re 14 right now, you still have lot of time till college applications so by then you will definitely have enough time to put it on the list
I do gymnastics 12 hours / week. So about 48 hours a month. Thats about 576 hours / year (ofc there are like missed practices/national holidays but ignoring that)...
Im panicking. I have 1 year left before I graduate and I have done nothing in my life! Mainly because I had confidence in myself and had struggled with various mental problems. However, last year I was planning to join all of the activities I wanted but then covid hit!
dude this is me.. I'm going into senior year and have done NOTHING. literally only did beach cleanup for an honors marine bio class but like that's all I did. idk what to do cuz I have like no activities so ig I'm screwed

When my brother applied for uni, his application was rich with ECs starting from 4 Olympiads (bio, chem, phy, maths), international competitions to sports (table tennis)... And he got into all the unis he applied for... On the other hand, his friend had few world highests even but his ECs weren't all that great so u couldn't get Accepted.... SO DOESNT ECs DO MORE GOOD THAN BAD?
@Siddharth Sahu well what It exactly sounds like... World highest is like getting the highest score worldwide, which is 100/100 basically... Every year few of them scores 100/100, tho not all gets "world highest" as they assess th candidate's script thoroughly, starting from neatness to the presentation of the answers and what not... For example my brother didn't get world highest in maths cuz he scored 158/160.... (It's for CIE basically... Dunno about other curriculum)...
Wait but what if I dedicated MUCH more than 50 hours to activities in every single year of high school, actually practically double every single month. Are the admissions officers actually going to think my activities are sus?
I have a question if anyone wants to answer it. In my college essay should I include a show that I have watched that mainly introduced me to what I want to do.

i Really want to ask something thats concerning me since a while. I have no extracurriculars or positions in any school clubs as i didnt apply and now i regret it. Its the last month of my school life and i cannot do snything about it. I only played basketball since 4 years and nothing more. Is there any scope for me in an IVY?

@@hypronmaster6756 The damn offseason lmao. Creating training programs the weekend of our last comp of the season always sucks the soul out of me
Think there's a typo in the video. 50 hours a year is just around 8 minutes for an activity a day

what school do u go to?
700?!? Not counting performances, I probably had around 150 hours of marching band from June to October last year.
@sleezyy743 don't ask people that

I do five+ hours of chorus a week- 😭
There is a family responsibilities option on the common app. It could help demonstrate ur time management skills!

The common app asks for activities in terms of hours per week. He meant no more than 50 hours per week.
marching band being 3 hours every day for 3 months 💀
the only problem with the first rule is i’ve done 80 hours this year for cross country…
This channel better be here in 5 years
I've been a swimmer for 4 years now, (started at 10) so would putting swimming bad? About 1500 hours swimming total.

@@nerdboi1976 I thought he said "no more than 50 hours a year"
You dont need to write the total, just the amount of hours you spend on swimming weekly nowadays.
It’ll ask for the time you’ve spent on the activity in highschool so put just makes sure put how long you do it in the span of a yr
Aye fellow tbate reader! My profile was actually arthur yesterday but i just switched to this one.

If it's something that influenced your life journey and defines who you are, and you think you can explain that in an essay then go for it!
