[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid (last year) included his skills as a beekeeper among his ECs (My spouse had started keeping hives in our yard and more or less mandated DS help him, so DS learned the basics and yes, wore a full bee suit multiple times).

I don’t know if it helped with admissions.[/quote]

But what was the impact with beekeeping? Or was it just included in the ECs to show personality?[/quote]

Primarily to show personality and also demonstrate contribution to the “family business” (we did make and distribute some honey—well I guess the bees made it). Additionally he looked up whether there was a beekeeping club at the schools he applied to and then mentioned his interest in joining the club in the “why this school?” essays.

Couldn’t really tie it to major since he was applying to engineering. But also he was not applying to top schools so—I’m not sure how important unique ECs are in schools with a 50%+ acceptance rate.[/quote]

Yeah. It doesn’t matter.
