Guest diencephalon Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Is it appropriate to put hobbies in your sketch?...I like to ski and swim in my spare time, but I dont have any awards for them ('cause I'm not that good) and I can't exactly find a verifier for them...

Guest UWOMED2005 Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 My thoughts are that if you haven't already used up the 48 lines, why not? I'd put them under extra-curricular. . . and you could probably use a friend to verify. But I'd see what the other moderators think - this is just my personal opinion.

Guest hobbies Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 since i had some extra space in my EC's, i listed stuff like the fact that i had taken ballroom dancing lessons, yoga, swimming, and i used my friend as a verifier. it wasn't an issue with the adcom's.

Guest AniyaSG Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Has anyone heard that they actually check with the verifiers? As far as I know none of mine were contacted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hmsdread Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 I'd go right ahead and talk about your hobbies. I verified my involvement in travel hockey with a fellow teammate (rather than listing any awards I received over the 15 years I played, I just stated that I played). Same with my karate club (although I did list a few achievements with that), and had my Sensei verify. I think it will only help you if you list your outside interests, even if they are not organized sports, etc. hmsdread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
