Mentioning poker when applying for college?

[Quasi]

Hi,

I'm from Sweden and I'm currently thinking about applying for college in the US next fall. I was, however, starting the process last year, before I decided to take a year of for poker, and was suprised as to how many questions about extra-curricular activites and other stuff you had to answer in your application. See, in Sweden we don't actually have a lot of "clubs" and stuff in high school and I don't know anyone (in my age) that has done volunteer work and so on.

So my question is, basically, if you think that I should mention being a succesfull poker player in my college application? The reason to why I'm asking is that this could be seen so differently from country to country and I don't really know how it is in the US.

Hopefully you'll sort this out for me... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
